The Wayward Prince

This book triggers nostalgia in waves for me, brings back the magic of reading my first Sherlock Holmes novel, and had me trying to guess what was going to happen from page to page.

Joanna and the Watsons are characters that while new to me felt so familiar, the visual storytelling had me sitting in a study on Baker Steet right there with our fantastic cast of characters.

I loved the little moments between Joanna and some of our secondary characters, seeing Miss Hudson have her powers of perception grow was a welcome addition, and Toby Two, what can I say about a hound that can sniff out certain substances other than bravo.

The story itself was really interesting, the inclusion of spies during wartime trying to find a missing prince had me glued to the pages and I loved the range of feelings this story drew out of me while keeping me glued to the book until the very last page.

I will say the ending surprised me, much like other books I've read by this phenomenal author looking back I could see little crumbs that had been planted that I missed because I was so engrossed in the story.

This is a solid 4.5-star book for me but I'll be rounding up to 5 for review purposes, and I will be reading more of the books in this series.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for Providing a copy of this E-Book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
