BOOK REVIEWS
A very entertaining novel. Mystery fans, whether theyre Sherlock Holmes addicts or not, will thoroughly enjoy it. [This] should be a popular series indeed.- Booklist"An intriguing and original plot, a likeable detective and a page turning read."- M. C. BeatonA transatlantic mystery draws two brothers into a web of murder when attorney Reggie Heath rents office space on Baker Street. He begins receiving letters from various places addressed to Sherlock Holmes, and considers the letters an amusing nuisance. But his mentally fragile younger brother Nigel, whos working as a clerk for his brother, becomes obsessed with the continuing correspondence of a young Californian searching for her missing mother. Sure-footed, Robertsons debut is lively and inventive.- Kirkus Reviews
