Sherlock Holmes & The Christmas Demon by James Lovegrove

James Lovegrove adds a new addition to the Sherlock Holmes genera with this Christmas Mystery (Avaliable on Hardback, EReader and Audio format). To quote the author this is a compelling mix of a tragic suicide, sizable legacy, a creature from folklore, a haunted castle and a maiden at the heart of it all. The Murder is committed in a secluded location so there is an aspect of a closed cast of suspects.
In true Arthur Conan Doyle style there is a twist in the tail as well as more than one strand of enquiry bringing it all together. Dr Watson takes his place as the regular sidekick and it is timed to slot into the early days of their partnership with Watson mentioning he has only published 2 of Homes/Watson adventures at this point in the friendship. This is a nice christmas murder mystery in the classic style providing a light an entertaining story for fans of the world famous consulting detective.
