Loved most of this. The language was a bit difficult at times because it was written a while ago now. Also found part 2 of this to be difficult to get through because I wasn't that interested in the side characters of drebber, stangerson, hope etc. I just found them to be a bit boring. Once sherlock and John came back, it was good again.

Was not a fan of the long ass Mormon backstory but it all made sense in the end. Love love my crime solving gays. I love how infatuated John is with Sherlock 🤭
