THE AFFAIR OF THE INCOGNITO TENANT by LORA ROBERTS
|
SummaryIn 1903, widow Charlotte Dodson's livelihood is threatened
by sinister events that converge on the small Sussex
village where she is housekeeper at a mysterious manor. At
the center of a black conspiracy, the only man she can
trust emerges as Sherlock Holmes. As the plot thickens:
* credulous villagers whisper that a vampire is on the
loose * a dangerous prisoner escapes from Dartmoor * the legendary jewel, Orb of Kezir, goes missing The story is told in the voice of a passionate young widow,
with whom Sherlock Holmes falls in lovełas much as his
cold, self-absorbed nature will allow him to love. She is
an intellectual sparring partner for him, and his match in
deduction; and excels in the domestic arts: she foils more
than one villain using common household objects and
toolsłmuch to the amazement of Scotland Yard and to the
gratitude of Shelock Holmes, whose life she saves.
