YA
Sherlock Holmes and a female Moriarty are reimagined as modern teenagers in friendly competition to solve local homicides. Despite their contest, Mori and Lock fall for each other. When Mori's investigation connects her recently deceased mother to murders, her withdrawal from Lock puts both teens in danger. A fast-paced mystery with intriguing characters--whose legendary enmity still seems possible--makes this an enjoyable read.
