Listless and depressed, Grice has taken to lying in the bath for hours, emerging in the evenings for a little dry toast and a lot of tea.

Although the parallels are unmistakable, Grice and Middleton are refreshingly different from Holmes and Watson.” (Shelf Awareness)“One of the most delightful and original new novels of the yearthe first in a series that could well become a cult.” (The Daily Mail) . “Grice, with his oozing eye socket, and March, with her love of cigarettes, gin flasks and occasional bets, are hardly the typical crime-solving duo.

I love Sherlock Holmes tales, Victorian and Edwardian time period and gothic tales. Most of all, I love mystery stories. This book had all of these elements. I found the main characters likeable.
