Sherlock Holmes again...

The fourth Holmes story, "The Dollmaker of Marigold Walk," is now up on barbarahambly.com. This was the first one I wrote, for Michael Kurland's anthology My Sherlock Holmes, stories written about Holmes by people OTHER than John Watson. I picked Mrs. Watson, but otherwise it's a perfectly straightforward Holmes story of observation and deduction. Writing it, I kept remembering the earliest Holmes stories (which are to me the most fun), in which, in many cases, the events were strange and quirky rather than criminal.
