Book 1 of my week of reading childhood favourites.
I loved it! It wouldn't intrigue me so much if I had read it as an adult, but it's so deeply connected to my childhood that I really enjoyed it! I would gladly read another book from the series.

This sequel was just as good as the first book in this series, DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. I can't wait to read the next book!

Not quite as engaging as the first, with the "bad guys" telegraphed and stereotypical. The subplots hummed along steadily, continuing threads from the first novel. A lot of action, but a lot of inconsistency too (Ingrid is curious only sporadically, for instance). But it did keep me reading!

Need to reread and rerate.
Last rating: question accuracy.

These books are so meh! The mysteries are KIND of compelling, compelling enough for me to keep reading, but reluctantly, and throughout the whole story I just kept wanting it to be over. The mysteries are ridiculously predictable, and I get that it's supposed to be a Sherlock Holmes parallel (a series I haven't read, so I can't comment much on that), but it's just dull. Take a look at any other YA novel/mystery and it is written in a way where the stories and characters come to life, with plenty of plot twists and developed characters. The characters in this are unbearably flat, particularly Ingrid, and nothing much happens, and there is just a lot better out there. I think I'm done with this series. As much as I hate to leave a series unfinished, I don't think I want to go through book 3. There's nothing there to keep me interested.

This series is just plain enjoyable and Ingrid is one of my favorite sleuths.
