Another mysterious tale of Sherlock Holmes...but not of Sherlock Holmes! Harry White is an amazing character and the premise behind this series being based on a true circumstance is delicious!

This is the second in the series and I must say that it is even better than the first. We again find Harry in the mail room at the bank, reading and replying to mail for Mr Sherlock Holmes. This book sees her unable to resist another mystery as she again enlists the help of Oliver Fortesque and sets out to unravel the puzzle. When it came to the method in which the victim was being... victimised I knew very early on how it was happening. Also I knew the dark secret that he was hiding. As to all the rest, a delightful surprise when I came upon it. 

There were other characters that made an appearance from the first book. Some delightful and others not as much. There were quite the few red herrings that had trails of thought galloping madly in the wrong direction as well.

It is shaping up to be quite the series and I always look forward to more from Holly Hepburn. The amount of research that goes into her tales is amazing and she writes beautifully for the era that they are set. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
