The Sherlocky parts of this book get 4 stars, I really have no complaints about them. However, there are 30 pages about evil murderous Mormons that just ground the entire story to a halt. It felt like a bait and switch - I thought I was getting one story, but there was another one stuck in the middle that went on and on and on and took days to get through. I'm kind of shocked to realize it only took up about 30% of the book, because it put me to sleep early at least three nights in a row.
