For fans of the world’s most beloved consulting detective, here is a fresh yet faithful reimagining praised by Publishers Weekly as a "winning" addition to the Holmesian canon, whose readers "will look forward to further adventures." The series is also recommended by The Library of Clean Reads. For fans of Sherlock Holmes, cozy mysteries, historical mysteries, historical fiction.
The series introduces readers to Lucy James -- an independent, modern-minded young woman who inherited her father’s intelligence and detective skills – and to a Holmes who now must contend with the mysteries and challenges of having a daughter! The series began with Charles Veley’s The Last Moriarty (2015) and The Wilhelm Conspiracy (2016). The 2017 releases include Remember, Remember, The Crown Jewel Mystery, The Jubilee Problem, and Death at the Diogenes Club. All four are written by Veley and his daughter, acclaimed historical novelist Anna Elliott. They have been praised by critics as "a new way to enjoy Sherlockian mysteries" (The Santa Barbara Independent) and "a very delightful way to spend an afternoon" (History From A Woman's Perspective).
These four books are clean reads, and can be enjoyed by mystery lovers young and old. Now available for purchase as a box set just in time for the holidays!
Anna Elliott is an author of historical fiction and fantasy. She enjoys stories about strong women, and loves exploring the multitude of ways women can find their unique strengths. She was delighted to lend a hand with the Sherlock & Lucy series, and thrilled to continue a new spin-off series featuring Becky and Flynn. Her first series, the Twilight of Avalon trilogy, is a retelling of the Trystan & Isolde legend. She wrote her second series, The Pride & Prejudice Chronicles , chiefly to satisfy her own curiosity about what might have happened to Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, and all the other wonderful cast of characters after the official end of Jane Austen’s classic work.
Love these books and Lucy James. Such a sassy, smart independent young lady with brilliant observation skills. I can't put the books down.I feel like I know her and all the characters. I am definitely recommending it to my friends.
