It' s the season of peace and goodwill, but a Victorian Christmas is no holiday for the world' s most popular detective in this new book from Bonnie MacBird, author of the bestselling Sherlock Holmes novel Art in the Blood. It' s Christmastime in London, and Sherlock Holmes takes on two cases. The angelic three-year-old child of a wealthy couple is the target of a vicious kidnapper, and a country aristocrat worries that his handsome, favourite son has mysteriously vanished from his London pied a terre. Holmes and Watson, aided by the colourful Heffie O' Malley, slip slide in the ice to ensure a merry Christmas is had by nearly everybody . . .
"MacBird' s artistry will keep readers eagerly turning the pages. " -Michael Dirda, Washington Post"Perfectly captures the essence of Conan Doyle' s fiction. ' -Independent"MacBird' s series grows stronger with each book and she remains the best and most faithful pastiche writer out there today - bar none. " -The Doylockian"Victorian London comes alive in this enthralling Christmas mystery, written with intelligence, style, and lovely period detail. " -Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author"What Child Is This? is the most charming, entertaining Holmesian yarn I' ve read in years. True to the curmudgeonly character, this schmaltz-free Christmas novel also gives a fascinating look at the attitudes toward love and family in late Victorian England - while deftly weaving a suitably Sherlockian double mystery. A must read for Holmesians - and others!" - Matt Witten, bestselling author of The Necklace
