I love bored Holmes, Holmes pretending to be bored but perking up at an interesting mystery, and Watson trying to deduce things about a client, then being told what he's missed. :) Also stories where the client has completely misunderstood the nature of the question they should be asking. Yay!

I love how noble Barrington is - standing up for Violet and putting her wishes first, even when he's physically attacked by her father.

Thank you! I really liked writing Barrington - we could all use a hero like him.

What a lovely little Holmes-teaser! I do love a mystery that captures a bored Holmes, and I especially love it when a woman as clever as Violet succeeds in eluding an arranged marriage and making her own decision about how the rest of her life will go.

This was delightful and atmospheric, and I am honored that you wrote it for me. Thank you so very much! :-)
