reviewed on + 84 more book reviews


Vicki Delaney is a versatile author, having a number of series of books. This is the start of a new series and if this is of any indication, it will be a successful one. It is set in Cape Cod in a books store that specializes in Sherlock Holmes books and memorabilia. The protagonist, Gemma Doyle, owns it with her Uncle. She is British and seems to be somewhat like Sherlock â she makes assumptions about various things just by looking at them, and she is usually right. She is a very complex person. This being a whodunit, it obviously has to have a murder victim or two. It has an intricately constructed plot with engaging characters. I look forward to reading the next one!
