Secret Letters



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:
