Gemma Doyle and the gang are back and Fall has arrived in New London. While business is dropping off along with the tourists, Gemma and Jayne are asked to cater a traditional English Country house weekend.

While surprised to find that the guests don’t seem to like their host, Gemma is even more surprised to have the host killed by a poisoned dart. Now she’s on the case and plans to flush out the killer while not becoming the next target of a poisoned dart.

Book Seven in the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop series delivers! It’s hard to believe how amazing each book is written and each one never disappoints. Love me some Vicki Delany and Sherlockians!

Gemma Doyle is at it again in this exciting addition to the series.
Gemma and her bestie Jayne are asked to participate in a
Sherlock Holmes weekend party at the Suffolk Gardens House. Gemma will be providing all the necessary materials and Jayne will be catering the event.
Accompanying the ladies is Ryan, Gemma’s boyfriend, who is also a detective with the West London police department.
David is the gentleman who is organizing the event, but it seems that all the people invited are not as excited about Sherlock Holmes as Gemma would have thought.
Things suddenly take a bizarre turn when the host is killed, and it seems everyone has their own motive for wanting him dead.

I really loved this book. It was really exciting to see Gemma slowly put the pieces together to solve the crime.
I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of A Three Book Problem.

It is summer where I live and this was the perfect cozy mystery to read while sitting out on the porch in the evening. Something about the atmosphere of the bookshop, the incorporation of Holmes' whismy... this was such a great way to enjoy an already great series. Can't wait until the next!

Vicky Delany's latest in the Sherlock Holmes Mystery series is a worthy successor to the others--it's a cozy mystery that will resonate with Sherlockians and those who appreciate a vivid setting and interesting characters.

Gemma Doyle and Jayne Wilson, proprietors of the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and the neighboring Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room, respectively, have been engaged to cater a Holmes-themed weekend event at the Suffolk Gardens House, a replica of a 19th century stately home, in their town on Cape Cod. Their host, David Masterson, has rented the house and invited seven friends for what he hopes to be lively discussions, games, garden tours, old movies, and themed meals. He has also hired his reluctant niece and nephew to play the roles of housekeeper and butler.

Little does he know (although WE know, of course) that the mansion will quickly become a murder scene, with Gemma's beau, a local detective, leading the investigation. Gemma, who seems to have similar deductive skills as Sherlock, is eager to help with the investigation, and almost everyone seems to have a motive--from the victim's errant wife and secret mistress to a rare book dealer and a struggling musician.

As always, Delany's mysteries are light (no graphic violence), fun, and filled with twists and surprises. And there are six others in the series if you want to spend more time with the denizens of West London, Massachusetts.
