Review of the first book from The Baker Street Society

“Amy Thomas’s ‘The Detective and the Woman’ takes us into the world of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler. Yes’ it’s been done many times before, but not quite like this. The novel opens with the death of Godfrey Norton, Irene’s husband, his death is unlamented and at once we see a strong-willed independant woman be re-born after a constraining and unhappy marriage. She takes control of her own life once more, but in so doing becomes the focus of both a villain who is hell bent on her destruction and fortune and the rather more benign focus of Sherlock Holmes.

The dialogue between Holmes and Irene fairly cracles with authenticity and is a major delight of this winning and charming novel. Posing as man and wife as they do in large sections of the novel gives plenty of room for by-play and intellectual sparring. Pleasingly, Holmes does not always get his own way with this most formidable of women, Irene beeing a good match for him in all departments. The account of the case is told alternately by both main characters and we get to read their innermost thoughts and weaknesses, Irene displays a softer side, a weaker side which is handled very well by Amy. The book just flows so well, the Florida/Fort Myers descriptive passages are lovingly conveyed. The other characters are delineated excellently from Barnett the solicitor to Thomas Edison and his household. It’s hard to believe that this is Amy’s first foray into Holmes literature, the quality throughout is of the highest. I loved it.”

WHEEEEEEE!
