This book was nothing like I thought it was going to be I excepted it to be like the movie but it was nothing like the movie. The book was still really good and there were a lot of smaller stories in it and there is one story in it that is exactly like the movie.

I was compelled to finish the book to learn what actually happened. However, there were a lot of unnecessary details that really bogged down the story for me.

Beautiful simplicity, and a great depiction of school-age nerd fandom culture in small communities. I always love to revisit these.

Very interesting to see how this played out. The title was misleading really but overall I enjoyed this book!

Very beautiful story about facing doubt and rediscovering faith. Love the Catholics, and love the in-depth explanations of ceremonies and processes.

The latest Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes adventure is a fun read that starts in England and goes to Ireland to solve a Russell family mystery and find a long-lost heirloom. The characters are well-developed and the author gives a great sense of the different settings they journey to. A fast-paced read and quite enjoyable!
