Description
Gemma Doyle, a transplanted Englishwoman, has returned to the quaint town of West London on Cape Cod to manage her Great Uncle Arthur's Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium. The shop—located at 222 Baker Street-specializes in the Holmes canon and pastiche and is also the home of Moriarty the cat. When Gemma finds a rare and potentially valuable magazine containing the first Sherlock Holmes story hidden in the bookshop, she and her friend Jayne (who runs the adjoining Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room) set off to find the owner, only to stumble upon a dead body. The highly perceptive Gemma is the police's first suspect, so she puts her consummate powers of deduction to work to clear her name, investigating a handsome rare-books expert, the dead woman's suspiciously unmoved son, and a whole family of greedy characters desperate to cash in on their inheritance. But when Gemma and Jayne accidentally place themselves at a second murder scene, it's a race to uncover the truth before the detectives loc k them up for good.

      • premium: False
      • source: Jenn McKinlay, NYT and USA Today bestselling author of Better Late Than Never
      • content: Vicki Delany's Elementary, She Read is an absolute delight. A perplexing mystery with a refreshingly intelligent and witty amateur sleuth, I enjoyed every well-crafted word of this Sherlock Holmes infused tale. A must read for lovers of all things Sherlock Holmes.
      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Using a clipped British accent, Kelly Clare narrates this tale of murder, theft, and ulterior motives, wrapped up in a Sherlockian puzzle. The game's afoot when Gemma finds a rare copy of Conan Doyle's earliest Holmes story hidden in her store, the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, located at 222 Baker Street in West London, Cape Cod. Smoothly and exactingly, much like Holmes, Clare delivers this cozy mystery, shifting fluidly from British to New England accents. There's a Holmesian twist to each clue and ex-pat Gemma, using her unusual Sherlockian perception, follows each lead, annoying police detective Louise Estrada and frustrating her former boyfriend, Detective Ryan Ashburton. Clare's narration flows steadily as she delivers British terms, Gemma's logical pronouncements, and the emotional search for a first edition. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

        This charming series launch from Delaney (Unreasonable Doubt) will please Sherlock Holmes and cozy fans. British expat Gemma Doyle runs the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, a business started by her great-uncle Arthur (who claims to be a distant cousin of Conan Doyle), in the Cape Cod town of West London. Gemma finds herself in the middle of a real-life whodunit after a woman abandons what appears to be an original 1887 Beeton’s Christmas Annual in the store. A copy of this rare magazine, in which the first Holmes story, the novel A Study in Scarlet, appeared, is worth a fortune. Along with her close friend Jayne Wilson, Gemma traces the woman to her hotel room, only to find her strangled corpse. This grim discovery doesn’t stop Gemma from investigating further. She identifies the dead woman as Mary Ellen Longton, who turns out to have been the nurse to a recently deceased millionaire recluse, who named her in his will. Romantic entanglements and another murder victim thicken the plot, which builds to a fairly clued reveal. Agent: Kim Lionetti, BookEnds Literary Agency.
