The Curse of the House of Foskett by M R C Kasasian
The much-anticipated second novel in the charming, sharply plotted Victorian crime series starring a detective duo to rival Holmes and Watson.
“Kasasian deepens the mystery of the relationship between his decidedly non–Holmes and Watson duo in his superior second whodunit set in late Victorian LondonKasasian again successfully blends the gruesome and the humorous.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“In his second adventure (after ?The Mangle Street Murders), private detective Sidney Grice, depressed by his last case, perks up when a visitor dies in his study; finally he and his ward, March Middleton, have a new mystery to solve that will draw them to an eerie house in Kew and the enigmatic Baroness Foskett.” -- Library Journal
“A fast-paced, witty book. While March must overcome both the prejudices of those who see her as "mere Miss Middleton" Grice has to readjust his ideas about the intelligence and capability of women as he begins to accept his goddaughter as a possible assistant. Although the parallels are unmistakable, Grice and Middleton are refreshingly different from Holmes and Watson.” -- Shelf Awareness
“One of the most delightful and original new novels of the year—the first in a series that could well become a cult.” -- The Daily Mail
