The daughter of Sherlock Holmes, her husband and son of Dr. Watson Sr. and Dr. Watson Sr. embark on saving the realm when a critical document is stolen. This document is the peace treaty between England and France and must be retrieved before its disappearance is discovered. Complex sleuthing, fascinating and likable characters and strong historical world building makes A Study in Treason a delightfully stimulating read. I received this ARC copy of A Study In Treason from St. Martin's Press - Minotaur Books. This is my honest and voluntary review. A Study in Treason is set for publication June 12, 2018. My Rating: 4 stars Written by: Leonard Goldberg Series: The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes Mysteries (Book 2) Hardcover: 320 pages Publisher: Minotaur Books Publication Date: June 12, 2018 ISBN-10: 1250101069 ISBN-13: 978-1250101068 Genre: Historical Fiction | Mystery Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Study-Treason-...

I was given a copy of this book through NetGalley and Minotaur Books for an honest review. I liked some of this book as it had shades of the characters of the Sherlock Holmes books from the past. The daughter of Sherlock Holmes and the son of Dr. John Watson work together to solve a mystery of the missing or stolen secret treaty papers that were to be copied seem to have just disappeared from the study of the man who was copying them for the English Government. Some of the story was by rote as the clues seem to come very easily to the investigators . The ending was just disappointing and it could have been written a lot better. I am a fan of the original novels about Sherlock Holmes mysteries so I can say that this book is likeable but not for me. |

The second book in this series featuring Sherlock Holmes daughter, her husband Dr. Watson's son and the now elderly Dr. Watson. On the eve of World War I some important documents have gone missing and its up to the trio to save the day. The mystery is well done until the end when the culprit is discovered with the most conventional of answers. Still a fun read and I look forward to the next book in the series. |
