The fifth installment in national
bestselling author Vicki Delany's Sherlock Holmes Bookshop mystery takes
Sherlockania to the max with a Holmes convention and historic 221 Baker Street.
Gemma Doyle and her friends travel to London for a Sherlock Holmes convention--but
will Gemma's father take the fall for a felonious forger's fatality?
The 6th of January is Sherlock Holmes's birthday, and lucky for Gemma Doyle,
January is also the slowest time of the year at both the Sherlock Holmes
Bookshop and Emporium, and Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room. It's a good time for Gemma
and her friends to travel to England for a Holmes Convention. For Gemma, the
trip provides an opportunity to visit her parents, Jayne Wilson is excited
about seeing all the sites London has to offer, and Ryan Ashburton just wants
to spend some time with Gemma. But the trip is immediately derailed when
Gemma's father Henry recognizes his brother-in-law Randolph Denhaugh, who
disappeared more than thirty years ago on the night he stole a valuable painting
from his own parents.
Henry, a retired detective with Scotland Yard, has been keeping tabs on the man's career as a forger of Old Masters and he warns Randy to stay away from his family. It's up to Gemma, with the help of her friends, to plunge into the "lowest and vilest alleys" of London to save her father from prison.
"The smart Gemma, the steadfast
loyalty of her circle, and the intriguing art milieu keep the reader turning
the pages. Cozy fans who are Sherlockians will have fun."
