An addition to the Sherlock Holms and Marry Russell series, which I got addicted to after reading the first one.
This tale is a lighter-hearted adventure than most, as an English film company plans a film loosely based on the Pirates of Penzance. Mycroft's hand in the background becomes evident before long, and Mary is shanghaied to help investigate certain shady characters.
It's a farce, and the author tells us that before very many paragraphs. Still, it's a lot of fun.
