A CURIOUS INCIDENT
by Vicki Delany
It's up to Gemma and Jayne to root out the
killer in national bestselling author Vicki Delany's sixth Sherlock Holmes
Bookshop mystery when the winner of a garden tour trophy is left pushing up
daisies.
"I am not a Consulting Detective," Gemma Doyle reluctantly tells
10-year-old Lauren Tierney, when the little girl comes to the Sherlock Holmes
Bookshop and Emporium to beg Gemma to find her missing cat, Snowball. Gemma
might not be able to follow the clues to find the cat, but her dog Violet
follows her nose to locate the missing kitten in a neighbor's garden shed.
Gemma and Violet proudly return Snowball to her grateful owner, and Gemma basks
in praise for a job well done. But a few days later Lauren is back with ten
dollars in hand, wanting to once again hire a consulting detective, and this
time for a far bigger job: Her mother has been accused of murdering her garden
club rival.
Sheila Tierney's garden, which everyone said was the one to beat for the West
London Garden Club trophy, had been vandalized the night before the club's
early summer tour. Sheila confronted her former friend and gardening partner
Anna Wentworth in a towering rage, and the women nearly came to blows. Later
that night, after having won the trophy for best garden, Anna is found murdered
and Sheila Tierney is the police's prime suspect.
Despite herself, and despite the
disapproval of her police detective boyfriend Ryan Ashburton, the game is once
again afoot, and Gemma finds herself and Jayne Wilson using their powers of
deduction to ponder yet another curious incident.
“These books are so much fun and so
well-done, it is clear that Delany is in love with her characters as much as
her die-hard fans are.”
