The Locked Room is the latest novel from Holly Hepburn to be published via Boldwood Books. It is the third book in The Baker Street Mysteries.
Harriet White is settling into life in the post room of the Baker Street building society. Until she discovers a letter in The Times challenging Sherlock Holmes to prove his status as the world’s greatest detective by solving an impossible mystery.  The letter, signed Professor James Moriarty, advises Holmes that the crime will be committed within the next seven days. Holmes himself must deduce which crime is the correct one to investigate. Dismissing the letter as a prank – after all, Sherlock Holmes isn’t real – Harry goes about her business. But then news breaks of the theft of valuable diamond from a safe in an apparently locked room in a Mayfair townhouse…
Intrigued in spite of her misgivings, Harry dons a disguise and investigates. But as she begins to unpick the puzzle, a body is found.
And now, a stranger, and far more deadly mystery begins to unfold around her. Can Harry solve the case before the killer strikes again?
The Locked Room is the first book I have read in this series, and I loved how cleverly it was plotted. It kept me guessing, and as a reader, I just had to keep reading to find out how it ended.
Even though I hadn’t read the other books in the series when I started this one, I didn’t feel lost as Holly does a great job of catching the reader up. I have since read the other two books in the series and reading them really does enhance the overall experience of reading this one.
The books are very true to the time period, and you feel immersed in the 1950’s as the storytelling is so vivid.
If you love Sherlock Holmes and a good mystery, then you will love this!
