Die Again, Mr. Holmes: A Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery by Anna Elliott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
1898 and at a trial Sherlock Holmes is approached by Miss Florence Janine to find her missing fiancé, Inspector John Swafford. Unfortunately he doesn't consider the case with any urgency. Meanwhile Lucy James investigates the case of the missing personal maid of Lady Lynley. Also the British government wants Holmes to locate if it exists missing opium from three ships, supposedly lost in a typhoon but one of the crates has turned up in London.
Another interesting well-written mystery in this series. I also like the main characters of this series plus Dr. Watson and the family of Lucy.
It is easily read as a standalone story but I would recommend reading the earlier books to chart the progression of the interplay between the characters.
