A GLORIOUS SHERLOCK HOLMES-INSPIRED MYSTERY FOR FANS OF NITA PROSE AND JANICE HALLETT.'A page-turning cosy crime delight, with a fearless heroine and a twisty mystery at its heart, full of humour, drama, revelations and romance' – KATIE MARSHLondon, 1932. A young maid steps onto a train… and disappears. Her desperate family writes to the only person they can think of to help: Sherlock Holmes.
A shame then, that Mr Holmes isnÂ’t real. But then, from a basement beneath 221b Baker Street, someone repliesÂ…Harriet White knows responding to the maidÂ’s family could land her in hot water, but sheÂ’s no stranger to trouble. It was refusing to cow to her over-familiar boss that saw her demoted to the postal department of their Baker Street head office in the first place.
Her new job is to work through the mountain of correspondence addressed to the streetÂ’s most famous resident. But when this letter catches her eye, she knows she must do something to help the missing girl. Harriet decides to act as HolmesÂ’ new assistant, armed with only her love of Conan DoyleÂ’s stories to guide her.
