Industry Reviews

"An absolutely ripping adventure!" --Anne Perry, author of "Belgrave Square"

"In a delightful encore, Victorian diva/detective Irene Adler Norton engages in a battle of wits with Sherlock Holmes and a vicious killer seeking to hide a traitorous past...Irene lures Holmes, just concluding the "Naval Treaty" case, into the hunt. Douglas has penned a delightful romp in this Victorian adventure novel about the only woman Sherlock Holmes ever admired, and indeed she lives up to the honor." --"Publishers Weekly"

"Weaves a new mystery together with strands of Holmesiana that includes the background of Col. Sebastian Moran and the location of Dr. Watson's migrating war wound. After a prologue darkly hinting treachery in the 1880 Afghanistan conflict, Quentin vanishes, leaving behind a trail of deadly cobras evidently set to attack him, his late servant, and Watson--a trail Irene is avid to follow. Holmes and Irene do their most charming (if in Holmes's case, unwitting) work together." --"Kirkus Reviews"

"Irene Adler, the dashing heroine of "Irene at Large", "is" the flamboyant creature who will always be ""the" woman" to Sherlock Holmes...Ms. Douglas's plot ingenuity remains fresh and amusing, and for all its fanciful turns, the action never loses its jaunty, high-heeled pace." --"The New York Times"
