1951: Never underestimate Mrs Hudson…
London is sweltering and housemaid Flotsam longs for a break from the oppressive heat, although housekeeper Mrs Hudson remains unruffled. However, Baker Street is about to be consumed by an extremely weighty matter: the last Will and Testament of armaments tycoon Charles Belladonna. Belladonna left his considerable fortune to an only son who went missing, stolen from his cot, years before. Now not one but seven young men appear, each claiming to be the long-lost heir. The tangled case draws the War Office’s attention, and a demand for Mr Sherlock Holmes’s assistance. Only the razor-sharp minds above and below stairs at Baker Street stand a chance of uncovering the truth and foiling the sinister forces at work
London
The London of Sherlock Holmes but not as you know it! Always fun to revisit the Sherlock version of London but through the eyes of Mrs Hudson!
Baker Street of course has to be the one place you visit as this is the central focus of Sherlock Holmes stories and identity.
London via Hudson is a rare treat indeed!
