✦ Synopsis

"Douglas does it again! Following the splendid debut of the fascinating Irene Adler in Good Night, Mr. Holmes, Douglas dazzles us again with the continuing chronicles of the Great Detective's greatest rival... wonderful prose... clever plotting [from] one of the first ladies of the mystery scene."—RT Book Reviews"Some women are just born to have grand adventures. Such a woman—the woman to the bewitched Sherlock Holmes—was the American actress Irene Adler, who shrugged off her untimely literary demise in "A Scandal in Bohemia" to reappear as the heroine of Carole Nelson Douglas's captivating history mystery, Good Night, Mr. Holmes. This vibrant creature is back..., holding court in Paris and laughing up her fashionable sleeve at the rumors of her death....Irene [packs] up her entourage and repairs to Monaco [where] she dons clever disguises, takes up with sailors, advises the Crown Prince..., and takes a most amusing tea with Sarah Bernhardt. "Independence," Irene says, "does wonders for a woman."—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times
