Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

A Satisfying End
- By Joki on 09-17-17
Publisher's Summary
"Gleason has vamped up the familiar world of Holmes and Watson...to paranormally exhilarating effect." - The New York Times
The girls are back!
Evaline Stoker (sister of Bram) and Mina Holmes (niece of Sherlock) return in the fourth volume of the steampunk adventure series set in an alternate Victorian London.
Ever since the debacle of the Chess Queen Enigma, Mina Holmes and Evaline Stoker have laid low, trying to settle back into their quiet lives as young ladies of London. But the Holmesian deductive abilities won't remain dormant for long, and when Mina receives a strange package from a winged, midnight visitor, she is catapulted into a new, mysterious adventure: the search for the Carnelian Crow.
Meanwhile, Evaline has received some very disturbing news - news that will change her life forever. Along with that unpleasant knowledge is the strange disappearance of her nemesis, the disreputable pickpocket Pix.
When it becomes clear the arch-villainess the Ankh has made her next move, it will take all of Mina's Holmesian ingenuity and Evaline's courage and determination to stop the criminal from executing her boldest and most dangerous plan yet!
Praise for Stoker & Holmes:
"This book has it all...the vivid setting and the finely drawn, compelling heorines make this a fine choice for readers who like their stories with steampunk spice and smart, strong women.” - School Library Journal
"There's lots of fun to be had from this odd-couple investigative team's snarky banter, the well-imagined setting's steampunk details, and Gleason's flashes of satiric humor.” - The Horn Book

Noooo! How long till the next?
I adore Janye Entwistle's voice for several narrator roles and this seris introduced me to her. She's very versatile and perfect for the time period.
This book in the seris really leaves me wanting to know what's going to happen next!
So many loose threads to tie up and big ones.
Excellent storytelling , keeps us wanting more but " blooming Pete!" how long till we find out what's next!?

An excellent instalment
This series just keeps getting better and better!
I liked how this book took a while to get going and it didn't start off in quite the same way as previously with an obvious 'case' for the duo to work on, but evolved.
It was interesting to read the vast difference between 'Victorian' times and what we as women experience now and also the difference between the two girls experiences in that time and the requirements made of them.
I hope the author continues to progress the story arc rather than try to spin it out for as long as possible as it is still quite intriguing at this point but could easily become laboured if it isn't tied up. There is certainly scope for expansion in the Stoker and Holmes universe and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it grows.
My only criticism would be that the word 'drassy' may be getting a little overused.
