From Goodreads: When Sherlock Holmes moves out of Baker Street, a new tenant moves
in-a mysterious woman named
Elizabeth who has long been a fan of Holmes. When she discovers that Griffin and his uncle are
also detectives, she becomes very friendly. So when Elizabeth goes missing along with a special
invention, Griffin sets out to rescue her. But finding Elizabeth will
take them on a race against the clock that bends time itself!
For me this was
just an okay read. I have tried to put the story in the context of the
characters, but again I didn’t think it was all that believable. But, I am not
so sure that the believability matters. After all, how believable is Sherlock
Holmes (I say that as a huge Holmes fan.) Again, this was a fun and light read.
If you don’t think about it too much then you’ll definitely enjoy it.
I like the dynamics between Griffin and Snodgrass a
lot more in this book than in the first. I was not at all shocked to discover
that the ending in No Place Like Holmes
was a set up for the story here. It’s an adventure for Griffin and Snodgrass,
and one that holds many challenges for the duo. Maybe I was not the best fit
for this read, but I do think this is perfect reading for middle graders.
I received this book for review from the
Booksneeze book blogger program, free, in exchange for my honest review.
Always Shine,
