I'm going to use one of my dad's favourite sayings and call this one fair to middling. On the surface it should have been a guaranteed-to-please-me read: I'm intrigued by Wilde, Conan Doyle is one of only a couple of people I'd go back in time to meet, and the it's a ghost story set on the moors....

When I request an ARC from NetGalley, I like to mix it up a bit. This is how I read – a little non-fiction, middle grade, literary fiction, and YA.

The atmosphere is so classic Victorian and Gothic, the humor hit the mark, and while I wasn't sure about how successful using real-life writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and playwright Oscar Wilde as a crime-solving duo would be, it turns out to be perfect.
