The Adventuress (Irene Adler)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This vibrant creature is back. A carefree romantic romp."--The New York Times
"Good Night, Mr. Holmes was an impressive enough performance to demand an encore. Introducing Irene Adler-- the only woman to dupe Sherlock Holmes-- as a detective in her own right, however, the earlier work was a hard act to follow. Happily, spirited opera star and amateur sleuth Irene is up to the task in this new yarn, a rollicking and complex story brimming with Victorian atmosphere and details."--Publishers Weekly
"Douglas dazzles us again with the continuing chronicles of the Great Detective's greatest rival.... Douglas's wonderful prose makes every word and phrase a sheer delight to read."--Romantic Times (4 1/2 stars)
