Travel Guide
BookTrail Travel to Sherlock Holmes’s London
A cosy mystery set in the iconic Baker Street but with Mrs Hudson at its heart. This time, they head up to Cumbria and across to Damascus so this becomes a more international mystery then one and two.
Cumbria
The trail leads Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson to the lonely Cumbrian moors where rumours abound of dead men risen from the grave, of ghosts walking. Meanwhile, Broomheath Hall, the big house apparently at the centre of the mystery, is in need of a housekeeper, and Mrs Hudson is the perfect person for the job…
There is sadly no Broomheath Hall but Holker Hall sounds good!
Syria
Damascus comes into play with the Lazarus link and it’s a great flying visit to a city full of mystery and intrigue!
Booktrailer Review
Susan: @thebooktrailer
Gutted this seems to be the last in the series.But what a great third book in the series!
A man is knocked down by a hansom cab but his last words are about a dead he’s just seen…..A Viscount has gone missing…up the river Thames there is a gruesome discovery and that’s not all…throughout the novel, there is a search on for a very important religious document. And people will kill to get their hands on it…
From London to Cumbria and even a jaunt to Syria, this is a great caper of a novel with intrigue, gothic charm and Sherlockian intrigue all seen through the eyes of Mrs Hudson and her funny and resourceful maid Flotsam.
This was a twisty turny novel with lots of twists and turns. A great mystery with red herrings and good dastardly fun.
I only wish there was a fourth book as I need Mrs Hudson in my life!
