Interesting, great take on Holmes and Watson

This is another great entry in this series! It is different, yet true to the original in so many ways. These stories are extremely well thought out. This Holmes is exactly how I would picture Sherlock's daughter, and Watson is wonderful as his own person. Fantastic.
I listened to the audio version, and Jacqueline de Boer does a lovely job, as always.

Female Sherlock Holmes Solves Another one

As in the same style of the original stories these are short but fun puzzles for is readers to figure out and enjoy. The characters are progressing in their relationships as we learn more about their stories as well. Try the series it is enjoyable and I can't wait till I start the next one

Irene and Joe are back at it again but with even more adventure. I devoured the second Homles and Co book and it kept me on my toes the whole time. It's been a long time since I've fallen in love with characters like this. I cannot wait for the next case!

Fast paced, to break a code, where Irene Homes and Joe Watson find they have to rush into danger to protect their client. Loved it!

Thanks to MX Publishing for a free audio version. At first I wasn't sure about this as I generally like pastiches with the "original" Holmes and Watson as characters. However, Irene and Joe grew on me, though she's irritatingly rude at time (lends realism) and he's too passive (I thought he was good at solving puzzles, yet he does little to help decipher a cryptic message). The writing and plotting are well done and I do enjoy Jacqueline de Boer's excellent narration. I'll try more of this series and look forward to Irene and Joe's character development.
