Though an interesting idea, I found this story tedious. When I read a mystery, I prefer to read a long, in-depth story, but this novel has three smaller mysteries in it before getting to the main plot in the last 300 pages and even then there is a huge digression from the plot while Mary and Holmes try to hide. Perhaps the later books are better, but I'm not sure I'll be giving them a try. Even the end is rushed. Mary is traumatized and it only takes 5 pages for her to fully recover from an emotional problem that leaves most people scarred for years.
