Not loving this book or its characters, so I'm calling it at 49%. I never quite bought into the Sherlock-themed bookshop as a viable business, and most of the relationships felt forced rather than convincing. Gemma and Jayne's friendship didn't work for me, Jayne's romantic relationship made me cringe, and I never understood what Uncle Arthur added to the story. Ryan does not value Gemma's intelligence.
