Description
London, 1932: when a young maid vanishes after stepping onto a train, her family reaches out to the one name they believe can help—Sherlock Holmes. But Harriet White, Holmes’ feisty (and entirely fake) assistant, is stuck in the unglamorous reality of answering mountains of letters from beneath 221B Baker Street, until one message pulls her into a case that feels far too real to ignore. With wit, nerve, and a deep love of Conan Doyle’s stories, Harriet risks her job—and her safety—to investigate the disappearance and uncover what’s been hidden in plain sight. Blending historical charm with a twisty, cozy mystery tone, the novel explores identity, class, and the power of believing in the right kind of detective work.

this was so fucking fun man. an easy, exciting mystery without all the stuffy, self flagellating detective tropes. it was hardly cozy given the subject matter, but more than enough warming by how deeply likable harry is. i tore through this soooo fast. only complaint was i wished the resolution was a bit more drawn out and had some more on-page closure rather than dialogue suggesting future actions.
