The life of 79-year-old pensioner Peggy Smart is as beige as the décor in her retirement village. Her week revolves around aqua aerobics and appointments with her doctor. Following a very minor traffic accident, things have turned frosty with her grown-up children, and she is afraid they are trying to take away her independence. Noticing her memory isn't what it used to be, Peggy is taking ever more inventive steps to cover up her dwindling faculties.

A nice book to motivate oneself
Revisado: 06-28-20
So nicely read! And the plot fills one with hope - not with exuberance maybe, but with that steady hope that allows you to look calmly and positively at your future. There's a lot of inspiration in this book. It's not particularly full of novel ideas, but good for some light reading. Sometimes I got bored, but every time a new problem arose and I wanted to follow it together with the characters, who are all very convincing.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 463
In 1893 Sherlock Holmes and Henry James come to America together to solve the mystery of the 1885 death of Clover Adams, wife of the esteemed historian Henry Adams--a member of the Adams family that has given the United States two Presidents. Clover's suicide appears to be more than it at first seemed; the suspected foul play may involve matters of national importance.

You call him a great author?!
Revisado: 06-28-20
Plot: 90% of most tedious descriptions of American "aristocratic" society of 1890-s, 10% of mystery (most of which is unresolved in the end). Poor, unconvincing, pointless, far-fetched.
Language: mostly overloaded, inelegant sentences, repetitions, lengthy descriptions that lead nowhere. Only few scenes are both action-packed and stylistically beautiful.
I promised myself I would finish reading it, but failed to complete it twice, so I had to have the audiobook just to be able to do something else while listening. So many of boring hours, despite all my love for Conan Doyle's characters.
