I'm once again back to very little reading time, but since my last post many pages back, I've read The Case of the Missing Marquess, which is the first in the Enola Holmes series by Nancy Springer and turned out to be an enjoyable children's/YA mystery starring the younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft.
I've also started The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith / JK Rowling, which has been slow going due to aforementioned lack of time, but I'm enjoying it so far (~55% in). I suspect it'll be similar to my reaction to the first Cormoran Strike book, i.e. enjoyable but not outstanding - this seems to be turning into a series I can solidly rely on to give me several pleasant (if occasionally gory) hours of reading, but not necessarily something I'll be jumping at on the day of release.
