Mrs Hudson and the Samarkand Conspiracy by Martin Davies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A heatwave has arrived in Victorian London and all is quiet on the crime front, so Holmes and Watson are bored. Until the mystery of the disappearing train in a tunnel between the villages of Predeal and Tomos in the Carpathian mountains. But who was the passenger, why is he important, and how did the train disappear. The cleverly woven plot covers spies, diplomats, missing spectacles and blackmail.
An entertaining well-written read told from the p.o.v of Flotsam, maid to Holmes and Watson, with a cast of interesting characters.
