Helpful Score: 2

I have greatly enjoyed both strands of Laurie R King's novels--the current day Martinelli and the past Holmes-and-young-friend. Reading the blurb on the back of this book got me excited that the two strands would actually merge in this book. I guess I was expecting something a little sci fi--either time travel, or nonaging, or at least a grandson of a character we're familar with from the other series.
Not getting that deep connection was a disappointment for me, but I think it the fault of the jacket blurb rather than the fault of the author.

I'm already hoping for the next book in either series. Soon, I hope!
