The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes by
Leonard Goldberg
Goodreads Blurb: 1910. Joanna Blalock unknowingly is the product of a sole
assignation between the late Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler. After the nurse
and her ten-year-old son see a man fall to his death in an apparent suicide,
elderly Dr. John Watson and his charming handsome son Dr. John Watson Jr.
invite her to join their detective team. From hidden treasure to the Second
Afghan War of 1878-1880, the group devise an ingenious plan to catch a murderer
in the act while dodging Scotland Yard the British aristocracy.
My thoughts: I literally saw this book
on a table display on my way to check out. The book takes place after Sherlock
has passed away. Dr. Watson still lives in 221B Baker St and every once in a
while people come with their problems. One in particular catches Watson’s
interest so he and his son, who is also Dr. Watson, set out to investigate. One
of their witnesses just happens to be the daughter of Sherlock Holmes which Sr.
Dr. Watson has been keeping a secret since her birth. The three of them work
together to solve the murder cases. With each passing day, they see more and
more of Sherlock Holmes in Johanna. Just like every Holmes and Watson case
there are many twist and turns their lives get threaten. Naturally the three of
them solve the case and all of the secrets come out. If you like mystery novels
and/or part of the Sherlock fandom I would recommend this book.
