The Last Telegram of Mrs Hudson

The first in a new mystery series that reimagines Sherlock Holmes‘s mother and her lady‘s-maid-turned-investigative-partner. ‘Some problems simply merit solving, Mrs Hudson‘ Heartbroken, widowed, and penniless, Katherine Hudson never intended to become a lady‘s maid; especially not to the eccentric Violet Holmes, mother of a precocious seven-year-old named Sherlock. But to keep her family out the poorhouse, Hudson is forced into a life of service. But she quickly discovers that working for Lady Holmes demands far more than polished manners. Instead, she engages in a most scandalous and unladylike activity: solving crimes. When a village boy goes missing, a forged signature links Hudson to the case. And, when a body is discovered on the Holmes estate, suspicion swiftly turns her way. To clear her name, protect her family, and uncover a dangerous secret from her past, Hudson must investigate — while resisting her growing feelings for Lady Holmes. Readers LOVE Lady Holmes and Mrs Hudson ‘The story surprised me in the best way. A truly satisfying and well-crafted read‘ ‘The prose is gorgeous, the characters are compelling, and the mystery had me hooked!‘ ‘WOW ...This story is so beautifully written, so well told, SO engaging…I genuinely loved it. And I can‘t wait for the next one!‘ The Last Telegram of Mrs Hudson is the first in a fun, fast-paced and feminist historical crime series, perfect for fans of the The Mitford Murders by Jessica Fellowes, the Miss Clara Vale Mysteries by Fiona Veitch Smith and Miss Austen Investigates by Jessica Bull.
