Gripping, enthralling read. Holmes Watson live!" --Hugh Fraser "A thoroughly entertaining Sherlock Holmes adventure worthy of Doyle himself. ... vivid period detail, a superb, labyrinthine plot, snappy pacing and, most importantly, a deep respect for the classic characters." --Bryan Cogman, Producer/Writer, HBO's Game of Thrones "Bonnie MacBird's ART IN THE BLOOD has the three key ingredients for a delicious pastiche: Meticulous research, plausibility, and grand fun!" --Leslie S. Klinger, editor, "The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes"
