Publisher's summary
It began as a harmless wager. Who could solve their case first?
Professor and Mrs. Moriarty have a few weeks to kill before their theater opens. Happily, two small cases drop in their respective laps. Moriarty has what looks like a scheme to swindle army veterans out of their discharge pay. Angelina must find a missing servant by winkling her way into a circle of officers’ wives. Neither case seems terribly challenging - just enough to provide an agreeable competition.
But as soon as they start asking questions, things take an ugly turn. Moriarty discovers an army barracks riddled with corruption. Angelina uncovers a terrible secret at the heart of the circle of officers and wives. When Sherlock Holmes returns from a mission in India, he confirms her worst fears. Then a man is murdered, and a good friend is blamed. Scotland Yard sends Holmes to catch their suspect.
The Moriartys must use all their courage and ingenuity to rescue their friend, stop a series of loathsome crimes, and put a cold killer behind bars.

Story
Francis Bacon is charged with investigating the murder of a fellow barrister at Gray's Inn. He recruits his unwanted protégé Thomas Clarady to do the tiresome legwork. The son of a privateer, Clarady will do anything to climb the Elizabethan social ladder. Bacon's powerful uncle, Lord Burghley, suspects Catholic conspirators of the crime, but other motives quickly emerge. Rival barristers contend for the murdered man's legal honors and wealthy clients. Highly-placed courtiers are implicated as the investigation reaches from Whitehall to the London streets. Bacon does the thinking; Clarady does the fencing. Everyone has something up his pinked and padded sleeve. Even the brilliant Francis Bacon is at a loss - and in danger - until he sees through the disguises of the season of Misrule.

It's 1910, and Daniel Pitt is a reluctant lawyer who would prefer to follow in the footsteps of his detective father. When the biographer Russell Graves, who Daniel is helping defend, is sentenced to execution for the murder of his wife, Daniel's Pitt-family investigative instincts kick in, and he sets out to find the real killer. With only 21 days before Graves is to be executed, Daniel learns that Graves is writing a biography of Victor Narraway, the former head of Special Branch and a close friend of the Pitts. And the stories don't shed a positive light. Is it possible someone is framing Graves to keep him from writing the biography-maybe even someone Daniel knows in Special Branch? The only answer, it seems, lies in the dead woman's corpse.

Story
Newly returned from finishing school, Lady Juliette Thorndike is ready to debut in London society. Due to her years away, she hasn't spent much time with her parents, and sees them only as the flighty, dilettante couple the other nobles love. But when they disappear, she discovers she never really knew them at all. They've been living double lives as government spies-and they're only the latest in a long history of espionage that is the family's legacy.

This was another fun filled romp with the nemesis of Sherlock Holmes. Jill Smith was a fine narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Money & Slavery
A bet between Professor Moriarty and his wife turns out to led to murder. The professor is looking into stolen military wages and his wife is looking for a missing maid. Their bet - who solves their case first. Soon enough the cases are intertwined. This is a clean mystery, with interesting characters, and plenty of twists. I was gifted this from the author.

Twisted
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
There are so many twists and turns that sometimes it really makes you wonder how on earth Moriarty’s case and Lena’s case intertwine. Both are just trying to help friends but they uncover a plot so horrific that it makes you wonder how people could do this. It also shows a light on something that is still prevalent today and we don’t see it. It’s sad that it happens but all we can do is catch the people behind it and help try to end it.
I very scary chain of events but a very thorough and well put together.
I love Anna Castles disclaimers at the end of each book it very interesting to hear how she research’s the information she uses in her stories.
I highly recommend the Moriarty Series. Any Sherlock fan who hasn’t read this most definitely should.
