Summer Reading
The first book I read this holiday was Secret Letters by
Leah Scheier. I’m really into the Mystery
& Crime solving genre for Young Adults right now and so I grabbed this one
for my holiday reviewing.
In secret Letters we meet Dora, a young girl living in Victorian
England, who believes she is related to Sherlock Holmes. On a trip to London to
find the master detective, Dora seeks out the Baker Street address but is shocked
to find Sherlock Holmes has recently passed away. However, through this
encounter Dora meets Peter, a young lad imitating the work of Holmes and set up
in another consulting detective agency.
Dora also loves to solve mysteries and employs Peter and his
company to find the thief who has stolen the secret love letters belonging to
her cousin. Peter allows Dora to become involved in the investigation set in an
English country manor full of puzzling incidents and hidden secrets.
Secret Letters has a great storyline and charming characters
…. I think there may have to be sequel coming so we can learn more about the
future for Peter and Dora.
Two other great books that have connection with Sherlock Holmes
are:
