221B Recs

I found it an interesting experience to read as a WV native. The conception and execution was very well done I thought. I guess as a native, it was for me a distraction when local details like WVU or the Greenbrier kept coming up. The best part is that it doesn't rely on stereotypes to tell a story, but actually tells a strong story supported by details of life in WV, c. 1973, very believably. I think they did a reasonably good job reimagining Sherlock and John in that setting.... but the best parts are where they are being Sherlock and John together, rather than the just slightly rough edges where their characters are reimagined in the Appalachian context.
