A Curious Incident

fullDescription

"I am not a Consulting Detective," Gemma Doyle reluctantly tells ten-year-old Lauren Tierney, when the little girl comes to the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium to beg Gemma to find her missing cat, Snowball. Gemma might not be able to follow the clues to find the cat, but her dog Violet follows her nose to locate the missing kitten in a neighbor's garden shed. Gemma and Violet proudly return Snowball to her grateful owner, and Gemma basks in praise for a job well done. But a few days later, Lauren is back with ten dollars in hand, wanting to once again hire a consulting detective, and this time for a far bigger job: her mother has been accused of murdering her garden-club rival. Sheila Tierney's garden, which everyone said was the one to beat for the West London Garden Club trophy, had been vandalized the night before the club's early summer tour. Sheila confronted her former friend and gardening partner Anna Wentworth in a towering rage, and the women nearly came to blows. Later that night, after having won the trophy for best garden, Anna is found murdered, and Sheila Tierney is the police's prime suspect. Despite herself and despite the disapproval of her police-detective boyfriend Ryan Ashburton, the game is once again afoot, and Gemma finds herself and Jayne Wilson using their powers of deduction to ponder yet another curious incident.

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Listeners explore a darker side of garden clubs in this nod to one of Conan Doyle's most well-known Sherlock Holmes stories. Gemma Doyle gets paid $10 by an 11-year-old girl to prove that her mother is not guilty of murder. Sheila Tierney is suspected of poisoning Anna Wentworth out of revenge for the destruction of her garden, which she blames on Anna. Narrator Kim Hicks heightens the humor of the audiobook as Gemma tries to stay out of the case but keeps getting dragged into it. Gemma, the Sherlock Holmes figure in this series, sounds analytical and largely devoid of personal emotion. In contrast, her friend Jane, the Watson figure, speaks in a gentle voice that makes her sound na�ve at times. Listeners may find certain character voices to be shrill, but overall they will still enjoy the audiobook. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine

     November 16, 2020
     Someone fatally hits Anna Wentworth in the head with a rock while Anna, a leading light of the West London, Mass., garden club, is walking her dog one evening, in Delaney’s entertaining sixth Sherlock Holmes Bookshop mystery (after 2020’s There’s a Murder Afoot). Garden club gossip soon pins the blame on Anna’s former friend and current rival, Sheila Tierney, and so do the police. When Lauren, Sheila’s 11-year-old daughter, pleads with Gemma Doyle, the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop’s owner, to prove her mother’s innocence, Gemma, who recently helped Lauren find her lost kitten, can’t refuse. Digging deeper into the abundant West London dirt, Gemma discovers sexual peccadillos, marital discord, secret agreements, and a few consummate liars. “It still surprises me sometimes what a person with a bit of internet knowledge and a suspicious mind can find out,” she observes as she closes in on the culprit. Sherlockian lore enhances the easy-to-follow plot. Cozy fans and Holmes buffs alike will be satisfied. Agent: Kim Lionetti, BookEnds Literary.
