Holmes Away from Home

About this book

Introducing Althea Adler, accomplished thief and daring heroine with a mysterious link to Sherlock Holmes. A heart-racing game of wits, murder and romance is about to commence . . . London, 1911. Althea Adler receives a mysterious postcard with just four words, 'Holmes away from home.' Surely her mother, notorious thief and opera star Irene Adler, is instructing her to break into Sherlock Holmes's safe? But when she does, Althea makes a shocking discovery . . . Still reeling from events at 221b Baker Street, Althea accepts an invitation to a party at Twickenham Towers, the ancestral home of Lord Slough, where a murder throws her into further turmoil--as does handsome fellow guest William, the Marquess of Sheffield, who has been tasked with staking out Slough by the British Government. Althea and William form an unlikely alliance as they set about catching a killer. But can they trust each other when they both have something to hide? An addictive new cozy mystery trilogy featuring a super smart, lively heroine, a dashing lord and a fiendishly good whodunnit, perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes's classic mysteries, Deanna Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell Mysteries, and Netflix's The Residence.
