Summary: Must-read for Sherlockians; fun Victorian mystery for others
Review: Add another point if you're a Sherlockian, two if you're a fan of Irene. Irene Adler, "the woman" to Sherlock Holmes, is the heroine of this tale, which is written as if narrated by her friend Penelope. A fun romp through 19th-century Europe, involving Irene's erstwhile suitor, the King of Bohemia, and a dastardly Russian plot. Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson have a few cameos, including one great one at the end that made the book for me. My main criticism is that it's a little heavy-handed on the name- dropping side; Irene is acquainted with scads of famous historical personages. This actually makes it harder to suspend disbelief and accept that both Holmes and Irene were historical personages, as the book attempts to convey. Well worth reading, more than once for some. Other books in the series (in order; this is the fourth):
Good Night, Mr. Holmes; Good Morning, Irene; Irene At Large

Summary: Carole Nelson Douglas' Irene Adler stories are a romp!
Review: Carole Nelson Douglas gives us wonderful entertainment in the latest Irene Adler romp, told by her "Watson", Penelope Huxleigh. The weaving of historical figures and Sherlock Holmes among several mystery plot lines makes for a delightful read. Be sure to read all four Irene stories!
