The new Sherlock Holmes novel from the New York Times best-selling author of The Age of Odin and Firefly: Big Damn Hero.

It is 1890, and in the days before Christmas, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are visited at Baker Street by a new client. Eve Allerthorpe - eldest daughter of a grand but somewhat eccentric Yorkshire-based dynasty - is greatly distressed, as she believes she is being haunted by a demonic Christmas spirit.

Her late mother told her terrifying tales of the sinister Black Thurrick, and Eve is sure that she has seen the creature from her bedroom window. What is more, she has begun to receive mysterious parcels of birch twigs, the Black Thurrick’s calling card....

Eve stands to inherit a fortune if she is sound of mind, but it seems that something - or someone - is threatening her sanity. Holmes and Watson travel to the Allerthorpe family seat at Fellscar Keep to investigate, but soon discover that there is more to the case than at first appeared. There is another spirit haunting the family, and when a member of the household is found dead, the companions realize that no one is beyond suspicion.

A enjoyable tale read very professionally.

At first I was afraid that the mystery wasn’t going to be all that interesting.

That being said, as the story went on questions grew and it kept getting better.

By the time act three arrived i was more than satisfied.

SETTING:
This happens in my favorite environment for a mystery… a massive old place that was built hundreds of years ago, sprawling with so many rooms and halls it’s almost a maze.
One of the wings has a bad history and is known as a place with fearful supernatural activity.
Part of it, the master warns folks never to go into.

Most of all, nothing is what it seems.

Dr. Watson is a bit too slow at times and it made me wonder if the author used him to explain plot details to the more stupid readers. (?)

I hate figuring out things before they do.

An unsettling family resides there about to celebrate a very strange Christmas.

Recommended.

Perfect, just what I wanted !

It was an excellent mystery. I love a good mystery and this one was a little hard to put together. I enjoyed that immensely. The narrator was very skillful using all kinds of voice and tone making the English and their country dialects interesting and fun.

Excellent story

I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, full cast of characters and narration in this convincing Sherlock Holmes pastiche. It’s great that Holmes’ adventures can continue through the skilled storytelling of authors like James Lovegrove. Thanks!

I enjoyed it. My only small critique was the pervasive dismissal of Watson. I expect it but it seemed a little much.

Classic Holmes
