I'm not much for online connectivity, but I was in the local library last Thursday (as one does in lake city) and spotted a book that I thought I had read about on Twitter, The Mimicking of Known Successes. I checked it out.

What a delight. The author @older.bsky.social is on bsky now of course. Such a nice medley of hard sci-fi and romance and detective stories with all the background slowly laid out, revealed over the 150 pages. A third of the way in I thought, oh, this is a play on Sherlock Holmes. Maybe it is?

I'm an interdisciplinary science nerd so of course I have "objections!" along the way but the whole thing hangs together well. A nicely told story. I borrowed it from the library, so I'll need to go buy a copy. And "lend" it out to friends.

so glad you enjoyed it, objections and all! and just so you know there are two sequels published and another slowly on the way
