Emily Watson lives in a quaint English manor house with her twin sister, confined to a 20-mile radius around the estate for reasons she has never known. When the mysterious Professor Moriarty comes to visit and her sister goes missing, she discovers she is the half-sister of Dr. John Watson.

Traveling to London to meet him, she finds that he is the biographer and flatmate of famed consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, in whom Professor Moriarty has expressed a sinister interest.

Soon after her arrival, Emily becomes embroiled in the kidnapping of a Russian diplomat, which could cause political havoc if the culprit is not quickly brought to justice. The case has ties to her past, and a curious thread throughout that threatens to topple the already precarious balance of Europe's empires.

This short novel is a revolutionary re-introduction to a universe that has been the object of fascination for over a hundred years, and promises a series full of diverse circumstances and many twists and turns before the final problem is addressed.

Who knew that Dr Watson had sisters? Surely not Emily Watson, until Dr. Moriarty murders her stepfather and kidnaps her sister. Emily makes her way to 224 Baker St. and becomes integral in the case. This book slips right in to the ambience of the ACD canon, plus there are a lot of new characters to solve crimes! The narration was wonderful and brought the characters and story to life.

Engaging story of Watson’s sister

A wonderful story that seems to fit into gaps within the canon. Enjoyable and can’t wait for this line of thought continues on.

I loved this book and wish the next was available. It is written the point of a 16 year old girl, but she seems much more like Holmes than Watson. There is at least one cliff-hanger, so be warned. I thought this was very clever and hope there are more very soon! The narration by Jacqueline de Boer was great.

Watson has Sisters!
