When Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson investigate the death of Marcia Le Fanu, a well-known medium, they enter an unfamiliar world of trickery and intrigue. Was Marcia Le Fanu cursed by a rival? Or does the truth lie closer to home?

About the author

Click the Follow button to be notified about new books.
Liz Hedgecock grew up in London, England, did an English degree, and then took forever to start writing. After several years working in the National Health Service, some short stories crept into the world. A few even won prizes. Then the stories started to grow longer...
Now Liz travels between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, murdering people. To be fair, she does usually clean up after herself.
Liz’s reimaginings of Sherlock Holmes, her Pippa Parker cozy mystery series, and the Caster & Fleet Victorian mystery series (with Paula Harmon) are available in ebook and paperback.
Liz lives in Cheshire with her husband and two sons, and when she’s not writing or child-wrangling you can usually find her reading, messing about on Twitter, or cooing over stuff in museums and art galleries. That's her story, anyway, and she's sticking to it.
Further info lurks at http://lizhedgecock.wordpress.com. For bite-sized pieces, follow Liz on Twitter at @lizhedgecock.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021221 Baker St. Mr. William “Sherlock” Scott Holmes (Scotland Yard consulting detective) & informed Dr. John Hamish Watson (husband, Sherlock's BMF, MD, author/writer) about Marcia Mary Le Fanu (Irish/ Huguenot, spiritualist medium).
She was found dead this morning.
Grosvenor Terrace London, England. The parlour maid Sarah let Mr. Holmes & Dr. Watson in.
Inspector Gregson mentioned Sir Geoffrey Carlton (patron) & he was interviewed.
In Mary Le Fanu she clasped tightly a scarlet rosebud.
Madame Paretski had accused Marcia of fakery.

readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader. If you are especially sensitive to this type of material, it is strongly advised not to read any further.
An awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very professionally written Sherlock Holmes (short story) book. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge description list of unique characters, settings, facts etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great Sherlock Holmes movie, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019This author has captured the soul of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is an awesome short story - and I love well-written short stories that imply, in my opinion, the author has talent. Solve the mystery before Holmes and Watson, if you can.
