| Oh, my goodness! I can honestly say that I will never, ever think of Sherlock Holmes in the same way. My image of him was, well, ordinary and plain; what a difference Suz deMello makes in my conception of this unusual man. The plot is extraordinary and is offered to the reader as a distinctive collection of words which will definitely change anyone’s perspective of the well-known detective.
Sherlock Holmes was a man who loved women; he used a 7% solution of cocaine to ease his boredom. His physician, John Watson, penned a book in March 1888 called A Scandal in Bohemia, which presented this tale about Mr. Holmes and a opera star, Irene Adler, with whom Holmes had a fascinating relationship. As a friend of the King of Bohemia, he was not surprised when the King (masked, of course) visited him with a delicate matter for Holmes’ attention. The King had also had an affair with Ms. Adler, and a photograph had been taken; she threatened to publish the picture on the same day as a princess from Scandinavia’s announcement of her engagement to the King. The King implored Holmes to get the photo back from Ms. Adler. This, of course, meant that Holmes and Adler would have to come face-to-face again after years apart. Ms. deMello’s enchanting tale of sexual chemistry is captivating and totally up to par with her former works. The characters are all so involving and so believable that it promises to captivate (and delivers)!
