I am so glad I finally started this series! It's a really delightful take on the Sherlock canon, incorporating all the essentials without making it tedious or derivative. 

The plot is tight and smart, and matches Doyle's original style while allowing for a slightly more collaborative approach to solving the mystery. I loved the forbidden romance angle between Charlotte and Ash, particularly because it allows us to see their friendship and genuine connection (along with their *obvious* desire to bone).

I'm really excited to continue on in the series!
