Charming. Bram and Arthur story line most interesting to me. Some slurs that I didn’t appreciate it. Parts were amusing.

I liked it very much. It was really two mysteries. I liked how the author showed London back in that time and how we learned about the start of electric light.

I didn’t like Harold or Arthur. Both were full of themselves. I did like Bram. The premise didn’t work for me. Too contrived.

I love historical fiction and London! I liked the romantic descriptions of London. The writing was very self aware. I liked the idea but the execution was not quite there. I didn’t like either of the main characters.

I really liked it. It was fun. I didn’t guess any of it! The story kept moving. The back and forth was done quite well. I liked learnig about Arthur Conan Doyle and I liked the friendship between Bram and Arthur.

I liked the historic stuff best. The other parts were just okay.

I enjoyed it. I liked that it was very self-aware. I liked the observations about mystery reading audiences. It made fun of mystery tropes but used them as well. Very well done.

I enjoyed it. I liked the flipping of the time line, but the audio felt very long.
