Sherlock finds himself sent unexpectedly to the Canadian wilderness to winter with John, whom he has never met. Beautiful character analysis of John, as Sherlock figures out who John is and why Mycroft sent him there.

I held off on reading this for some time because I wasn't seeing John as Canadian. Once I started reading though, I was hooked. Something's not quite right with John, and Sherlock notices right away. Naturally, he can't resist a challenge. And living off the grid is indeed a challenge for Sherlock. The descriptions of the cabin and life in the wilderness are fascinating on their own, and the slowly developing relationship between the two men is believable and realistic. John maybe a bit broken, but he's still quite capable of handling himself and Sherlock as well.
