The first book in a new series by Vicki Delany, "Elementary She Read" is a great start. I will say it took me awhile to really get into the book, primarily understanding and getting to like the MC, Gemma Doyle. She owns a gift shop that specializes in all things Sherlock Holmes, and her best friend runs "Mrs. Hudson's Tea Shop" which is attached to the gift shop. As you may expect, murder and mayhem result and the two friends work to solve the mysteries, because Gemma is the primary suspect in the murder. I had no idea who the murderer was until the very end. Lots of fun red herrings to follow!

This is a good, clean cozy mystery, which I prefer and I know there are others also that do. I can't wait to read the next in the series.
