Good enough, but I can't summon up much enthusiasm for this novel. I was initially intrigued by the premise - reimagining Sherlock Holmes and Watson as lesbian lovers in the contemporary world. But the novel didn't feel very "Sherlock"-like to me and so I found this a disappointing read overall.

Although it was an entertaining read, Vienna did not feel like a Sherlock Holmes story to me.
The relationship between Justine and Vienna is well-developed, and I liked how Kirby gave an insight to the thoughts of the female protagonists, but the mannequins mystery was a part that I could not understand very well. I might need to give it a second read, because the murder mystery became a background sub-plot rather than the focus like I thought it would be. Overall, Vienna is an intriguing read that I would recommend to those interested in dramas, thrillers, and even lesbian fiction.

I would like to thank Tor Books for providing me a copy of Vienna through the first-reads giveaway program at Goodreads.
