The comparison to Sherlock Holmes is way off, I'd say. Much closer in personality to Hercule Poirot.

The settings and characters are interesting enough, though a bit thin. Seems to have taken its structure straight from No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, which makes me worry a bit about turning to English authors to satisfy an urge for exotica.

But, as I expected a light read and got it, I won't dwell on the authenticity of the voice.
