Their individual back stories and the constant inclusion of Rachel's family helped build them into their own characters so it didn't feel like we were just reading about younger versions of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.

I really felt for Rachel as sheĪdjusted to life in Melbourne and the parts where she reminisces about her old life and the pain she and her family went through Now she writes, teaches, talks about kid’s literature at libraries and schools, and gardens when she can, while living in a country idyll (actually a very messy wooden house on ten acres with a dog and lots of chickens) near Castlemaine, in north-central Victoria. Rachel finds it difficult to find her place in the city where life is very different to the one she has known for the past seventeen years. Ellie Marney was born in Brisbane, and has lived in Indonesia, Singapore and India. Rachel Watts is a country kid whose family has moved to Melbourne due to their farm suffering massive financial strain. So when Rachel's brother, Mike, suggests a trip back to their old home in.more. Mycroft has had a devastating childhood, one that fuels his desire for knowledge and solving puzzles, and that has contributed to his eccentric and borderline criminal behaviour. She just wants to forget the whole ordeal, but her boyfriend, James Mycroft, is obsessed with piecing the puzzle together and anticipating the next move of the mysterious Mr Wild - his own personal Moriarty. Seventeen-year-old James Mycroft has many of the same quirky and irritating habits as Sherlock Holmes, something that is not lost on either Mycroft or Rachel by their frequent jokes about how their names and passions reflect the famous fictional duo.
