| Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate a haunting that’s anything but merry in this cozy Christmas mystery from a New York Times-bestselling author! London, 1890: Days before Christmas, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are visited at Baker Street by a distressed new client, Eve Allerthorpe. The eldest daughter of a grand but somewhat eccentric Yorkshire-based dynasty, Eve believes she is being haunted by a demonic Christmas spirit. Eve’s late mother told her terrifying tales of the sinister Black Thurrick—and Eve is sure that she has seen the creature from her bedroom window. What’s more, she’s received mysterious parcels of birch twigs, the Black Thurrick’s calling card. Eve stands to inherit a fortune if she is sound in mind, but it seems that something—or someone—is threatening her sanity. Holmes and Watson travel to the Allerthorpe family seat at Fellscar Keep to investigate, but soon discover there is more to the case than at first appeared. Another spirit haunts the family, and when a member of the household is found dead, the companions realize that no one is beyond suspicion . . . Follow the trail of clues as Holmes and Watson unravel this strange Christmas mystery in this delightful, pitch-perfect ode to Arthur Conan Doyle’s Great Detective! |
