It was okay. Honestly given that they’re supposed to poke fun a bit at Sherlock Holmes I sort of expected them to be better? I’m guessing they do get better but unlike where Sherlock has to unravel a different type of case every time with a different criminal, Lupin is ALWAYS the criminal and therefore the book gets SUPER same-y very fast.
