Review
Praise for Death at the Diogenes Club!
"I cannot recommend this series enough to mystery lovers, Sherlock fans, and anyone looking for a story with a strong female lead. Death at the Diogenes Club is a wonderful addition to a strong and captivating series." ** The Nerdy Girl Express**
"I l-o-v-e the series! All six books have been amazing. In 'Diogenes' we have an added element of romance, but, again the key word is 'romance.' Too many authors confuse sex with romance. There's a big difference. Thankfully, our authors 'get it' and provide the emotion without the seediness. Well-written from start to finish, this is THE series to read and share with your middle/high school readers. Five Stars!" Devoted Mommy of 3.com Book Spotlight

More praise for the Sherlock and Lucy Series!
Cosy Christmas reading at its best! This series of Sherlock Holmes retellings is a joy to read and proves a worthy addition to the Holmesian canon. In a word . . . fun!

"It might be difficult to imagine the original Holmes even having an offspring -- much less one he accepts as an investigating partner. Still, the authors make it seem plausible, and for readers who are not purists but rather pleased to see a hint of warmth coming from Holmes, [the Sherlock & Lucy series] is a new way to enjoy Sherlockian mysteries." -- ** The Santa Barbara Independent**
"Elliott (the Twilight of Avon trilogy) and Veley, her father, collaborate on the winning third mystery pairing Sherlock Holmes and his daughter, Lucy James. Readers will look forward to Lucy's further adventures." -- ** Publishers Weekly** (Remember, Remember: A Sherlock Holmes & Lucy James Mystery, Book 3)
"Fans of Holmesian stories, historical fiction, and Victorian romance will all find something to enjoy in the Sherlock Holmes & Lucy James Mystery Series." -- ** Critical Blast**
"[Lucy James is an] independent, strong feminist young woman who is unafraid to take care of herself even in very uncomfortable situations. This fact alone sets [The Sherlock & Lucy series] apart from most Regency historicals or other Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Women are generally damsels in distress, but not Lucy!" -- ** Tynga's Reviews**
"I absolutely loved Remember, Remember and think it's the perfect book for Sherlock Holmes fans, as well as mystery lovers. I cannot praise this book and its authors enough for this well written and imaginative story." - ** The Nerdy Girl Express**
"Reading this novel was a very delightful way to spend an afternoon. Remember, Remember will not only appeal to fans of Sherlock Holmes, but also to those who love The Secret Life Anna Blanc, The Beekeeper's Apprentice, and A Curious Beginning. - ** History from a Woman's Perspective**
"Elliot's writing style is solid and easy to become absorbed in. She gives Lucy a strong narrative voice, which caused the plot to both flow well and pack a punch. Her world building of 1897 London is vivid and skilled, making it a very high point of the novel. She unravels the mystery at a steady pace, showing her talent for creating a storyline that hooks her readers and keeps them wanting more. [...] A very fun story, and an inventive take on some very timeless classics." - ** The Quirky Book Nerd**
