Sherlock Holmes’s niece Evelina is trying to enter high
society and solve a steampunk/sorcery case at the same time without getting
herself into a whole heap of trouble. Of
course she ends up in a heap of trouble.
Oh, and she’s magical, but shhhh, it’s a secret. And she grew up in a circus. But we’re keeping that under our hats as well.
I really enjoyed reading this story and it wasn’t until after I finished that I
took the time to think through all of the craziness that author Emma JaneHolloway had just passed under my nose with a “just go with it” attitude. Now I think that marks a good author: that
they get you to buy into their crazy without realizing it. Two more books, A Study in Darkness and A
Study in Ashes will most likely make their way into my “to read”
collection.
