The mystery is action packed and Timothy's analysis of his relationship with his father and ultimate acceptance of his death is poignant. Very enjoyable

Normally I'm not a fan of books where authors co-opt a famous literary character, but I enjoyed this book. (Tiny) Tim spends a lot of time trying to speak to his dead father and deal with the fact that his siblings have drifted off into their own lives. The author displays a real affection for nineteenth century language.

Wonderful mystery. Begins when you least expect it!

It's the Christmas season, and Mr. Timothy Cratchit, not the pious child the world thought he was, has just buried his father. He's also struggling to bury his past as a cripple, and shed his financial ties to his benevolent "Uncle" Ebenezer by loosing himself in London. A different kind of Christmas story!!

It's another take on a Dickens character. More in-depth, more saucy, more intriguing. If you want to feel like you're back in Dickens' London, this is the book for you. Timothy Cratchit is all grown up and solving crimes.

A really interesting twist on "A Christmas Story." It was a very fast read and very enjoyable.

I tried several times to read this book but I just couldn't get into it, from the back of the book it sounded like a great read. To me it seemed to jump around and didn't flow very well I only read the first 100 pages or so and had to throw in the towel.
