MRS. HUDSON AND THE SPIRITS' CURSE
Women's Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers
GOODREADS REVIEW
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Martin Davis delivers a fresh look to the Sherlock Holmes stories, empowering a very unlikely character in Victorian London, where the likes of Mrs. Hudson would be kept from all manly affaires and that the opinion of the persons below the stairs would not conform to any importance in the matter of the high class people they serve. This book dignifies the power of knowledge and deduction that women of any era could master greatly. Mrs. Hudson and the Spirit’s Curse is delighting, intriguing and full of twist and turns that makes it impossible to put down. This story is seen through the eyes of a young battered orphan that will transform in the charge of Mrs. Hudson into a very acute thinker. And reminds you that behind a great man there is a greater woman.
I got to read this great book free thanks to Netgalley and Canelo Digital Publishing.
