WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

★★★★★ “Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is not dead; he is living in the Pacific Northwest! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had nothing on J.R. Rain and Chanel Smith. Having read the entire ‘Vampire for Hire’ series, all of his other detective books and several of his standalones and collaborations/multi-author books, I can say without fear of contradiction that this is one one of the best books he has written to date. Until now I considered Winter Wind his best to date but now that one has some competition. I just wish I knew how the collaboration was structured so I could give credit where credit is due. The original characters, Holmes and Watson, are spot on, the people around which the story is built are well-developed, and the events and accessories, handsome cabs, taverns, tea time etc. are in keeping with the time in which the story takes place and are believable. Being a fan of Conan Doyle and his Sherlock Holmes, I didn’t know what to expect in this book but I wasn’t disappointed. This book is why I return to J.R. Rain repeatedly for a good read. Well done, J.R. Now the game is afoot, you and Smith have to do it again.” —Amazon review
