Gemma Doyle and Jayne Wilson are busy managing the Sherlock
Holmes Bookshop and Emporium on Baker Street and adjoining
Mrs. Hudson’s Tea Room in anticipation of the store’s
upcoming book signing with the illustrious Renalta Van
Markoff, author of the controversial Hudson and Holmes
mystery series. But during the author Q&A session,
dedicated Sherlockian Donald Morris verbally attacks Renalta
and her series for disgracing Sherlock’s legacy, only to be
publicly humiliated when the author triumphantly lashes back
and gains the upper hand. That is until Renalta collapses on
the table—dead.
Donald insists he didn’t do it and pleads to his friends to
clear his name. Fortunately, Gemma and Jayne have no
shortage of suspects between author’s bullied personal
assistant, her frustrated publicist, the hapless publisher,
a handsome rare book dealer, an obsessively rabid fan, and a
world of other Sherlock enthusiasts with strong objections
to Renalta’s depiction of the Great Detective. It’s up to
the shrewd sleuthing duo to eliminate the impossible and
deduce the truth before the West London police arrest an
innocent man in Body on Baker Street, the second
Sherlock Homes Bookshop mystery perfect for fans of Miranda
James and Kate Carlisle.
