Publisher Description
A bloodstained room, a missing woman, a passionate affair gone wrong.
September in London, and the city basks in a glorious Indian summer. Sherlock Holmes has more work than he can handle, and when the Home Office asks him to sniff out a plot by Russian assassins on radical politician George Dashing, Holmes and Watson find themselves distracted by more pressing cases.
Meanwhile, there is scandal at the home of Dashing’s great political rival, Sir Henry Catanache. When Sir Henry’s housemaid goes missing, leaving only a pool of blood behind, his son is the prime suspect. Can Sherlock discover the truth? Or will the Catanache family be rescued by Laurence Martin, a detective newly arrived in London who is dazzling society with some remarkable triumphs?
Martin proves a surprising and enigmatic figure, and Mrs Hudson and Flotsam, her intrepid helper, soon find themselves as intrigued by the detective as they are by the crime...
A thrilling cosy crime thriller based in the legend of Sherlock Holmes, perfect for fans of M. R. C. Kasasian, Oscar de Muriel and Elly Griffiths.

Good book
I enjoyed it.
Mrs. Hudson and the Blue Daisy Affair
When a young woman seeks help from the famed detective of Baker Street, she changes her mind upon being greeted by his maid. In the excitement of Holmes being asked to protect a dashing young man with political aspirations, Flotsam forgets the frightened woman. Despite being on the trail of another yet another culprit, Holmes gives into entreaties to help a young man accused of murder though no body has been found. Then an up and coming detective lures away one of his clients? Does this new detective really have the seductive powers to rival Holmes? Will the right answers be found in time?
Another enjoyable read though I had suspicions about many of the outcomes that proved true.
