The Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries
review 1: The book had begun promisingly, with a multiple P-O-V structure, interspersed with adequately gothic tropes, dastardly crimes, and (finally!) Arthur Conan Doyle in fine form. But then it fizzled out like stale soda, with a rushed-yet-pointless ending. Something is seriously wrong with the author, I think. Story after story, he complicates plots to an unmanageable level, and then hastily concludes his novel, so that he can start another! Now you decide whether you are going to read this book, or not.
review 2: This book was really interesting although i found it to be a little slow towards the end. The beginning and middle were fantastic. I loved Oscar's little quotes (although he was quite irritating sometimes), and the image of Arthur Conan Doyle was very real
... more. My fav character was Arthur Conan Doyle beacuse his character was very interesting and lovable, but serious as well. I kind of got bored at the end but all in all i have to give it a 3. less

An interesting historical fiction sprinkled with Oscar Wilde quotes and "isms". It was a good read.
