I finished it pretty quickly (by my slow standards). I know the "star" of the show was Holmes, but I found the fair, itself, to be more interesting. Larson did too good of a job getting into Holmes character for my taste. What a creep (Holmes, not Larson). I almost wonder if Larson could have broken this up into two books.
Maybe I will go to
Thin Air right away. I'm reading something called
One Word Kill which I think was a First Read choice a month (or two) back. It's set in 1980s England — I wonder if it was originally written then. Sure "feels" like it. It's short and reads quickly (again, by my standards) so I shouldn't be long on this one.
