The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes
In 1910 London, nurse Joanna Blalock and her young son witness circumstances surrounding a man's apparent suicide that persuade her the death was murder. Elderly Dr. John Watson and his pathologist son invite her into the investigation, gradually recognizing deductive gifts inherited from Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler. Hidden treasure and events reaching back to the Second Afghan War place the trio against a threat protected by rank and reputation. Familiar but energetic, this series opener suits readers who enjoy Holmesian deductions, next-generation partnerships, historical conspiracies, and capable women claiming a place within a famous detective legacy.
