Good Night, Mr. Holmes: An Irene Adler Novel [Paperback]

Winner of the American Mystery Award for Best Novel of Romantic Suspense, and the Romantic Times Award for Best Historical Mystery

Miss Irene Adler, the beautiful American opera singer who once outwitted Sherlock Holmes, is also a superb detective, as Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker can attest. Even Holmes himself must admit--albeit grudgingly--that she acquits herself competently.

But in matters of the heart she encounters difficulty. The Crown Prince of Bohemia--tall, blonde, and handsome--proves to be a cad. Will dashing barrister Godfrey Norton be able to convince Irene that not all handsome men are cut from the same broadcloth?

Enchanting... remarkable... keen... saucy... delicious... irresistible... The New York Times on Good Night, Mr. Holmes

The game is afoot in this splendid addition to the Sherlock Holmes canon. That superior woman, Irene Adler, takes center stage in her own version of 'A Scandal in Bohemia', giving a delightfully convincing feminine slant to the events previously chronicled by Dr. Watson. Sharyn McCrumb on Good Night, Mr. Holmes

Setting herself the task of creating a heroine worthy of Sherlock Holmes, Douglas succeeds smashingly. Narrated with credible Victorian style and sensibility by Penelope 'Nell' Huexleigh, this lively caper establishes Adler's sleuthing skills... A truly original perspective of the one whom the great detective himself dubbed 'the woman.' She's a superior woman at that: readers will doff their deerstalkers. PublislS¼
