"Holmes and the Ripper" by Brian Clemens

Rating: ♦ ♦

I'm starting to think that Big Finish's Sherlock Holmes audio dramas might not be for me, after all. The cases are interesting, I just don't like the characterization of the main characters in them. Like in this book: Holmes fell for a female psychic and Watson was a boisterous drunk. I actually wondered why this Holmes kept this Watson as a friend because this Watson's low intelligence and desperate need for acknowledgment and praise annoyed even me... But what really bothered me, as mentioned above, was the Sherlock/Kate romantic angle. That was just... pah. Not my cuppa.
