The Darlington Substitution blog tour has come to a close and it has been fantastic. The tour has exceeded our expectations by so far that if we were to look back and shout “oy expectations” they wouldn’t hear us.
A million and one thanks to all those who took part. Apparently, this foul-mouthed, wise-cracking version of Sherlock Holmes is an entertaining little chap… and funny with it.
Here’s a round up of some of the kind comments the novella received...
“An interesting and enjoyable take on one of my favourite classics.”
“An engaging, humorous and cleverly written mystery.”
“I read this novella really quickly, partly because it’s short and partly because it’s so good. It completely exceeded my expectations and it frequently made me smile or laugh.”
“Not your normal run of the mill detective story. Loved the humour in it, had me giggling to myself a few times.”
“Melvyn Small’s writing is superb.”
“I giggled from start to finish with the dry humour that rolled off of each page.”
“Fluent, engaging, and with a well-judged balance of wit and humour set against the investigation of a mystery, Small has incorporated the best aspects of Sherlock Holmes while adding his own imaginative twist.”
“All in all, an engaging idea, well realised, providing a refreshingly different angle on the Great Detective.”
“I really didn’t want it to end and I’m really looking forward to reading more.”
“A quick read that is certainly very enjoyable!”
“As an editor, I’m a tough crowd but was soon won over… Rating: 5 out of 5”
“Rekindled the love of mysteries in me.”
"The best novella I have ever read."
“This story is sure to delight.”
