A New Way to Enjoy Sherlock HolmesIt isn’t mandatory for a book about Sherlock to be a new mystery starring Sherlock. In this clever new series, Gemma Doyle, manager of the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, uses Sherlockian logic to figure out a crime scene she reluctantly stumbles into.Gemma has come to West London in Cape Cod for a fresh start after her divorce. She manages the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium for her great uncle, Arthur Doyle, a Sherlock Holmes aficionado. He bought the building for its address: 222 Baker Street. Next door (220 Baker Street), Jayne Wilson, who co-owns Mrs. Hudson’s Tea Room, has become Gemma’s best friend and confidant. The two shops are connected, benefiting both businesses.The story kick-off: While tidying up after twenty-four women on a bridge group holiday sweep in, shop, and leave, Gemma comes across a bag wedged between some books. Inside the bag is what appears to be an original edition of a magazine containing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s first story. If not fake, it could be worth a fortune. Gemma finds a postcard in the bag with the name of the hotel where the magazine’s owner must be staying. After stashing the magazine in her great uncle’s safe at home, she and Jayne set out for the hotel to ask a few questions before returning the magazine. They find a dead body, and the game is afoot.The characters are deftly drawn: Gemma isn’t the Sherlock Holmes fan both her great uncle and Jayne are, but her mind works, ironically, like the Great Detective’s. She can take every little detail and arrive at accurate conclusions in a way that disconcerts local police and even wrecked a fine romance. Jayne is her Doctor Watson, sensible, anchored, and yet secretly thrilling to the adventure Gemma drags her into. Other quirky characters move the plot along: great uncle Arthur who, despite being in his 90s, has wanderlust and is on a trip in this story. The author’s brushstrokes are just enough to make him vivid by his absence. (This reader hopes he pops up again in a future book.) Then there is Ruby, the grumpy clerk at the shop cash register; Irene Talbot, the journalist hungry for a story; two book collectors (one hunky, one boring), who take an interest in the magazine; Detective Louise Estrada, out to pin a murder rap on Gemma; a dysfunctional family of would-be heirs . . . and many minor characters breeze through the pages with life and humor. Gemma, as a matter of fact, has some very funny lines throughout.This is a mystery that is both satisfying in the puzzle sense and disarming to a reader who lies cozy mysteries with endearing sleuths.
For anyone that has more than a passing interest in the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, "Elementary, She Read" is a must read! Gemma Doyle (no relation to Arthur Conan Doyle!) has come to West London (Cape Cod) to manage her Great Uncle Arthur's bookstore - "Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium". Located at 222 Baker Street, of course! I mean - that was one of the selling points when her Great Uncle bought the shop. Uncle Arthur is a great fan of Sherlock Holmes, and Holmes memorabelia. Gemma has added other Sherlockian items besides the books and magazines because, well, because they sell! A cat lover myself, I adore Moriarty, the resident cat. Moriarty loves everyone except Gemma, and her former boyfriend (and current police detective) Ryan.Gemma finds what appears to be a rare magazine containing an original Sherlock Holmes story - placed in amongst her books and magazines by a very strange looking woman, while the shop is filled with a woman's tour group. Emma and her best friend Jayne (who runs the adjoining Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room) set off to return the magazine to the woman who left it in the shop. They find her ... dead in a local hotel. Jayne calls the police, and when they arrive, Gemma is thunderstruck to see that her ex-boyfriend Ryan has returned from Boston, and is lead detective. He is not too friendly, but the other detective, a female detective, is going to present even more problems!A dead woman, her wayward son, a second dead woman, and a boatload of greedy people move this story forward at a very crisp pace. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think that you will too!
Gemma co-owns, with her Great Uncle Arthur, two businesses. One being a theme retail store that specializes in all things related to the character, Sherlock Holmes. The other business is the "Mrs. Hudson Tea Shop." These two businesses reside in New London, Mass. You can almost guess the addresses.The mystery begins when a woman blends in with a tour group and leaves or hides a famous, or is it?, Magazine featuring Sherlock and said to have been printed in 1887. The value could be almost half a million dollars but if it's a fake... well, no one is going to know for awhile since the woman that left the book is dead and the magazine is now in police evidence protection.Gemma has an unique ability to pay attention to the smallest details. She puts theories together using this ability. The police are not so charmed by Gemma and since the bodies keep being found by her and best friend, Jayne....well, you can see why they must investigate the murders to save themselves.I found myself liking this book very much. I look forward to reading the next volume in the series.
Except for the denouement, which I skipped. Too many mistakes in details that should have been found. It was raining., it wasn’t type of thing. And I always think the Holmes noticing of details and inferences drawn therefrom are silly. She knew he was divorced because he hesitated before saying the word wife. Could just as easily have been because they weren’t married. The fake tension introduced to shore up the story- two people meet...instant dislike. Silly. But good enough that I read it all the way through. So three stars.
I liked this story. Who I thought murdered two people didn't. When I can't figure out who the murderer is, I consider that a good mystery. Gemma and her good friend and partner, Jayne, stumble onto not one but two dead bodies. The police are very suspicious of them both but especially Gemma. Gamma runs the Sherlock Holmes Bookstore and Emporium, and it's seems everyone is after a valuable magazine that was left in her store by one of the victims. A clever plot.
For a first book in the series it was very intriguing. The concept is very good as are the characters. The storyline is worthy and the murderer isn't as easy to figure as you think.
