The 14th novel in the magical alternate history Elemental Masters series continues the reimagined adventures of Sherlock Holmes in a richly detailed alternate 20th-century England.

While Sherlock is still officially dead, John and Mary Watson and Nan Killian and Sarah Lyon-White are taking up some of his caseload - and some for Lord Alderscroft, the Wizard of London.

Lord Alderscroft asks them to go to Dartmoor to track down a rumor of evil magic brewing there. Not more than four hours later, a poor cottager, also from Dartmoor, arrives seeking their help. His wife, in a fit of rage over the children spilling and spoiling their only food for dinner that night, sent them out on the moors to forage for something to eat. This is not the first time she has done this, and the children are moor-wise and unlikely to get into difficulties. But this time they did not come back, and in fact, their tracks abruptly stopped "as if them Pharisees took'd 'em". The man begs them to come help.

They would have said no, but there's the assignment for Alderscroft. Why not kill two birds with one stone?

But the deadly bogs are not the only mires on Dartmoor.

I’m looking forward to more tales from Germany next. I like the Sherlock Homes take off but I love the wild west German style, hopefully I’ll see more!

I like The way the stores are progressing.

One of the things I love about ML is that she uses the dialects of the areas she is writing about. Some may be so different to other cultures that they seem a foreign language, but if you listen closely it immerses even more into the story!
I so enjoying the Elemental Masters and the many different cultures and traditions it’s travelled to. And the addition of Sherlock, John and Mary Watson has been the icing on the literary cake! Already looking forward to seeing what comes next!

I love all the many series of Mercedes Lackey

I have been reading Mercedes Lackey's books since I was in High School. I still love them and am still working my way through them all.

Another wonderful book

The combination of talents of Sherlock Holmes with elementals Watson and his wife Mary, and Nan and Killian (also elementals) and their birds continues to tax the dastardly deeds of the dark elementals. Mary and Nan continue to help spirits both willing and unwilling to the “light” or “darkness” depending on their deeds in life! I’m

I love the characters. the discussions between characters got you involved in the story to the point of trying to find the children.

A Story that will leave you Spellbound.

This was a great overall story, but the reading using the local dialect and accents was mostly too unintelligible. I have no idea if the hard copy book was an easier read. The narrator is usually very good (and the rest of the book was very well done indeed), so I have to say she did her best in trying to vocalize a difficult, poorly written dialect.

I love Mercedes Lackey!
