I love it when authors write retellings where a lot of things get flipped around. A genderswapped Holmes, a genderswapped Watson, hints at a possible slow burn romance—honestly, a winning combination. I don't think this is one where the reader can unravel the mystery before Charlotte does, but I had a great time following her deductions. The characters have very distinct voices, and I'm really intrigued by the setup for Moriarty.
I highly recommend the audiobook by the way, the narrator is fantastic.
