Review of 'Elementary, she read' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I thought this book was older than it was because I thought, surely people are tired of the Sherlock character and wouldn’t write yet another? But no, they did. You know the character that says blunt things because they are so good at deducting things (when the plot calls for it and yet the MC is clueless and not observant at all at times).

Two other pet peeves in this one, “stupid cop insists MC is a suspects because who the heck knows” and “I figure out the killer because of how the author wrote them, not solving the puzzle”
