The Gower Street Detective

review 1: Very clever and humorous novel that has a nice take on the Sherlock-Watson detective novel at the turn of last century - and if you weren't sure of that, the characterisation of Conan-Doyle is the hint. I particularly like that both characters bring something to discovering the murderer; the subversion of having two amateur male detectives to a professional male and, because of social conventions, a dilettante proto blue stocking woman.
review 2: Enjoyed characters, setting, and plot. A feisty young woman is taken in by an obnoxious detective in London 1882. She insists on being involved as he tries to solve the murder of a young woman in a shop while, presumably, her husbands sleeps in the next room. The characters interact in fun ways while the murder inve... morestigation provides a good puzzle. This is said to be the first in a series and I will look for others. less
