Very lightweight. Lots of very short stories (pretty much none of them take more than a minute or two to read) and the whole thing is like... an hour of reading at most. The writing is fine - it actually doesn't feel super off from Holmes. But so many short stories often with a very weak premise - the mysteries are limited and some are very easy to guess, one I guessed after 2 sentences of description -gets kind of tiring. Can't really say I recommend it although it's a fine enough way to waste an hour if you like very short, pretty silly "mysteries". Her writing would probably be better in longer form. ( )
