An excerpt: “Allen has created a provocative mystery laced with secrets, scandal, and even bits of humor. With memorable characters and an eye for detail (including a well-placed nod to a familiar magnifying glass), this series debut showcasing a viable alternative to the original Doyle/Sherlock Holmes contention, should appeal to any classic mystery lover, and especially those who can appreciate a smart and savvy woman, ahead of her time.”
