#36 Unquiet Spirits by @macbird.bsky.social. Book 2 in this series, and as with the first its a great murder mystery. Set against a backdrop of a whiskey distillery in Scotland, Sherlock and Watson try to solve a number of bloody murders. Really enjoyable, look forward to reading more of these πŸ“šπŸ’™

A- #BookReview: The Serpent Under by BonnieΒ MacBird My Review: There are a whole lot of serpents in this latest entry in the Sherlock Holmes AdventureΒ series (after What Child is This?), of the reptilian as well as the human kind. A disconcerting number of them end up dead - again of both kinds - in this mystery that includes a surprisingly high body count for a detective who keeps his partner around, at least in part, because it’s Watson who is good with a gun.

Interesting that new readers are jumping into my series by reading the debut novel, ART IN THE BLOOD. I'm delighted. There are six in the series now, and they can be read in any order, as they are standalones.

#17 Art in the Blood by @macbird.bsky.social. A great new take on Holmes and Watson, a thoroughly enjoyable read. Felt like reading Conan Doyle himself. Will definitely check out book 2 πŸ“šπŸ’™

@macbird.bsky.social was a lovely host for her book launch today. Great food, a glass of bubbly, and a complimentary signed book, plus a dramatised chapter starring Holmes and Watson. #sherlockholmes
