IT'S HERE! Story updates weekly. Serial will be completed by May, 2023. ==================================================== "It is nearly nightfall. We shouldn't have waited until so late." "If you are so worried about spooks and ghouls, you can take the pleasant walk back now before they come out to eat you as they dance in the twilight. You have your cane, you can fend them off." "Really, Gregory, you are an insufferable ass." ==================================================== Hoping for a restful, healthy summer at Holmes Manor, Judge Mycroft Holmes whisks away both his brother and his dear, dear, dear friend Inspector Gregory Lestrade to the spacious, sprawling, and sorely neglected estate. If he is seeking peace, however, it's nowhere to be found. His cousin Emigene who was to oversee the estate has fully abandoned it to pursue an ornithological study of a brown beaked sparrow in the upper Hebrides and has left her daughter, the sullen Ingrid, behind. Within a week, both Harriette and Mary give them a surprise visit after escaping a Florida swampland in America and Sherlock, seeing monsters and ghosts at every turn, is once again under the watchful eye of Dr. Watson. A full house, which was not what he expected, nor wanted, and as every day draws to a close it seems another is added to their number, including a mathematics teacher who has this odd habit of splitting into two people when under stress. An intriguing issue, to be sure, but he finds no help in Gregory Lestrade. There's murder in the village, several in fact, all of ghastly husbands and cads. Harriette and Mary's new spiritualist leanings could bring all manner of ghosts to Holmes Manor. Good thing there's plenty of room. BOOK TWO of the JUDGE MYCROFT HOLMES SERIES
