The App's chapter 20 included both longish and shorter chapters all crammed together. Within the first few chapters, the two numbering systems were already off (not matching). By the end of the book, I heard 30 chapters announced but the list of chapters I could use to navigate ended at 20. So, with all that praise aside, the reason I am writing this review is because the chapter breaks the listener hears from the narrator are unrelated to the chapter breaks as they appear on the screen (in the App).

I also recommend it for feminists (acknowledging the issues inherent in the historical context) and anyone who enjoys historical fiction with tremendous cultural detail (Palestine/Arabia and India are examples of places this series has gone and I have several books to go!). I highly recommend this series if you are a Baker Street irregular.

But this series is unique in the fresh inflection brought by the heroine, Mary Russell. This series elegantly incorporates, enhances and builds on the canon while gently tweaking some details. I love Holmes and have long since exhausted ACD's canon, so I devour solid Holmesian fiction. Why are the chapters so confusing? Not consistent
