That's a bit like saying salt can never equal sugar, or that Holmes can never equal Marlowe. Nothing about the series is Golden Age style, there's no similarity intended or attempted. I'm far from an uncritical fan of Penny's work, several I barely finished, but when she gets it right the results are good, and stand as they were intended to, not measured against books of a different era, genre, and culture.
