Holmes takes a Holiday
(2021)(Book 28 in the Sherlock and Lucy Mystery series)
A Story by Anna Elliott and Charles Veley
A vibrant lakeside resort. An evil Syndicate plot. And long-buried secrets that lead straight to murder and mayhem.
May, 1900. The Baker Street team heads to Lake Windermere, Victorian England’s most fashionable vacation spot. But they have no plans to relax and mingle with socialites. They are searching for Lady Belinda, the missing wife of Sir Clarence, a prominent local barrister who has been helping Holmes in his fight against the Syndicate, an evil crime ring led by corrupt policemen.
Amy Thiel, another ally against the Syndicate, is also missing, and Holmes believes the cases may be connected. Unwilling to stay idle, Amy’s sweetheart, Gregson, has come to Windermere to help. It’s up to Holmes, his team, Gregson, and the contentious Lestrade, who has also joined the effort, to find Lady Belinda and Amy before it’s too late.
Early clues lead to the Burner, a villainous brute who Flynn and Becky have antagonized in London, and who will kill them both if given the opportunity. But it soon becomes apparent that he is not the only villain, and the team’s missing persons case is not the only one that needs Holmes’s attention. A set of macabre Windermere murders, both past and present, must be solved to prevent even more suffering and bloodshed.
The closer the team gets to the truth, the more perilous their mission becomes. Will they act in time to save their missing friends and prevent more needless deaths? Or will all their efforts vanish beneath the cold and unfeeling waves of Windermere Lake?
A fast-paced and thrilling take on a classic Sherlock who-done-it, with unexpected twists and turns, two strong, feisty heroines, and a touch of romance. Holmes takes a Holiday stays faithful to the of the beloved original series, while introducing more intriguing relationship dynamics.
The second installment in a three-part 'season finale.'
