Mrs. Holmes has been unsettled for months, but young Sherlock does not know why. The family travels to Paris for the summer, the site of Mrs. Holmes’ childhood. Secrets from her past come to light, threatening the whole family. Will uncovering the truth bring peace of mind, or is it more dangerous than any of them realize?
This was a fun read. I’ve mentioned before that I love interesting tales of Sherlock Holmes as a boy. I love how this series explores the influence of his mother. I really enjoyed how this one builds on the family connection that is briefly mentioned in the original stories.
The details of the era were fun. I enjoyed the descriptions of places and artists. And the mystery was interesting. I liked the twists and turns it took for Sherlock and his family to learn the truth. Constance still is not a favorite, but I was more sympathetic to her in this book.
Definitely my favorite of the series!
