An Irregular Detective Mystery

Tim Badger, a former Baker Street Irregular — those street kids that Sherlock Holmes hired to spy for him — aged out and decided to become a detective-for-hire himself. He met a black bloke in Camden named Ben Watson, and thought it was Fate intervening, because now he could work with his own ‘Watson’ too!  And so they embarked on a career as detectives…and found how hard it really was. Until Sherlock Holmes himself intervened with financial and mentoring help.

.On THE VAMPYRE CLIENT:

“Well, I never saw THAT coming… Another great read in this series (that I am SO glad I took a chance on; if you love Sherlock Holmes, you will love these mysteries)! This time Tim Badger, Ben Watson, and Elsie Littleton are swept up in a mystery involving a gothic country home, a townful of suspicious villagers, LOTS of hijinks, and of course, VAMPYRES!!!” DAWN MICHELLE KALM, NETGALLEY REVIEWER

.

“This series has been oodles of Sherlock-adjacent fun from the very beginning in An Isolated Seance, and this fourth book absolutely continues that delightful streak. If you enjoy historical mystery or Sherlock Holmes stories or both, this series is a winner.”  — MARLENE HARRIS, NETGALLEY REVIEWER

.
