3.5 stars

Interesting, but sometimes you'd need some specific knowledge to be able to solve the mystery.

Perhaps pretty different than the original Sherlock Holmes in that the stories covered religious and sexual matters as well.

Personally, I enjoyed the way one mystery sometimes connects to the other.

Cute concept, but some cases were unsolvable without outside information (some parts with English history and/or culture were challenging)
