About the book

Its the season of peace and goodwill, but a Victorian Christmas is no holiday for the worlds most popular detective in this new book from Bonnie MacBird, author of the bestselling Sherlock Holmes novel Art in the Blood.

Its Christmastime in London, and Sherlock Holmes takes on two cases. The angelic three-year-old child of a wealthy couple is the target of a vicious kidnapper, and a country aristocrat worries that his handsome, favourite son has mysteriously vanished from his London pied terre. Holmes and Watson, aided by the colourful Heffie OMalley, slip slide in the ice to ensure a merry Christmas is had by nearly everybody . . .
