- W4240513665 abstract "Reviewed by: Every Breath by Ellie Marney Elizabeth Bush Marney, Ellie Every Breath. Tundra, 2014 335 p Trade ed. ISBN 978-1-77049-772-6 $17.99 E-book ed. ISBN 978-1-77049-774-0 $10.99 R Gr. 9–12 It’s only been a few months since Rachel Watts moved in two doors down from James Mycroft, and already their high school friends have teased them about the [End Page 215] Conan Doyle name connection. The two pals play right along, partly because they admit it’s funny, and partly because they really do align somewhat to the famed characters. Mycroft is a thinker, an experimenter, and a lost soul who’s emotionally standoffish after the death of his parents and his own injuries in a car accident. Watts, a writer who polishes Mycroft’s Diogenes blogs, is smart and supportive and ready for adventure. Adventure does indeed find them when the friends make a late-night food delivery to a homeless man Mycroft knows, only to discover him dead beneath a secluded tree. His throat has been slashed, but evidence shows he had been murdered before the cut was made. Working parallel to the police investigation, the pair uncover connections between Homeless Dave, a seductive graffiti artist, and a herpetologist, and end up fighting for their lives in a lion enclosure—and falling in love. Yes, that is a clear tip-off that despite the broad Sherlock Holmes references scattered throughout the mystery, Mycroft and Watts are not modern day incarnations à la Sherlock, and despite Mycroft’s cri de cœur, “I want to be Sherlock-bloody-Holmes!”, he’s his own man. The Melbourne setting and raft of Aussie-isms of this Australian import add further interest, and readers will be pleased to know that two more titles are in the transoceanic pipeline. Patience.
