“Splendid The characters are thoroughly charming and the worldbuilding is first-rate.”—RT Book Reviews (four stars). As Sherlock Holmes’s niece, Evelina should be able to find the answers, but she has a lot to learn. But rather than making her fortune, her special talents could mean death or an eternity as a guest of Her Majesty’s secret laboratories. Evelina Cooper, the niece of the great Sherlock Holmes, is poised to enjoy her first Season in London Society.

Holloway stuffs her adventure with an abundance of characters and ideas and fills her heroine with talents and graces, all within a fun, brisk narrative. From Publishers Weekly Evelina Cooper has a taste for science, a gift of magic, a famous uncle (Sherlock Holmes himself), and an uncertain future. (Sept.) .

As they investigate the murder, Evelina and Imogen are drawn into a web of plots surrounding the steam barons who dominate London, and even Evelina's uncle may not be safe. Then her stay with Imogen's family for her debut season is disrupted by the murder of a servant.

An award-winning author of both historical and urban-fantasy romance, Holloway has an honors degree in English literature.
