YAStoker & Holmes series.
In alternate Victorian London, Mina Holmes (Sherlock's niece) and Evaline Stoker (Bram's sister) team up to solve a series of murders. The story veers into sci-fi with the arrival of an unwitting time-traveler boy named Dylan. In this series-starter, the fun comes from the voices of the two main characters whose alternating narration includes quick-witted sparring, slowly developing friendship, and grudging admiration.
