Re: Take the Monkeys and Run -- Very good. Enjoyed the heck out of it.
Just finished up a cozy, Sherlock kind of thing--humor, fun, funny:
Fleeting Memory by Sherban Young. No one was more surprised than me when I liked it. It wasn't billed as Sherlockian (which is a good thing because I probably wouldn't have read it.) It was way more fun than Sherlock, but it had that pastiche going.
I enjoyed it. Made for a nice way to spend the afternoon and I laughed out loud twice, despite my tendency to pretend I'm above slap-stick or silly/double entendre humor.
