Welcome to the BOOK BLAST for Holmes Away from Home by Samantha Larsen. I am an absolute sucker for Sherlock Holmes stories, whether pastiches of the original tales or stories that extend the lives and legacy of the ‘Great Detective’ through family, friends, apprentices or technology. If it looks like Sherlock Holmes (at least a bit), and sounds like Holmes (enough) or is an homage to Sherlock Holmes, I’m there for it. Which explains my continued fascination with a whole plethora of new(er) series, from Carole Nelson Douglas’ Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes series to Laurie R. King’s Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes to Sherry Thomas’ Lady Sherlock to Leonard Goldberg’s Daughter of Sherlock Holmes to Jeri Westerson’s Irregular Detectives and even Will Thomas’ Barker and Llewelyn and Robert Jackson Bennett’s Ana and Din.
So I was all in for THIS book from the minute I saw the blurb and I can’t wait to read it. Which I can’t, yet, because the ARCs aren’t available and the book won’t be published until October. BUT I can share my anticipation (and fingernail biting impatience) with you by introducing you to my next book obsession. I hope you’ll be as eager to dig into this new Holmes and their new adventures as I am!

Introducing Althea Adler, accomplished thief and daring heroine with a mysterious link to Sherlock Holmes.
A heart-racing game of wits, murder and romance is about to commence . . .
London, 1911. Althea Adler receives a mysterious postcard with just four words, ‘Holmes away from home.’ Surely her mother, notorious thief and opera star Irene Adler, is instructing her to break into Sherlock Holmes’s safe? But when she does, Althea makes a shocking discovery . . .
Still reeling from events at 221b Baker Street, Althea accepts an invitation to a party at Twickenham Towers, the ancestral home of Lord Slough, where a murder throws her into further turmoil―as does handsome fellow guest William, the Marquess of Sheffield, who has been tasked with staking out Slough by the British Government.
Althea and William form an unlikely alliance as they set about catching a killer. But can they trust each other when they both have something to hide?
An addictive new cozy mystery trilogy featuring a super smart, lively heroine, a dashing lord and a fiendishly good whodunnit, perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes’s classic mysteries, Deanna Raybourn’s Veronica Speedwell Mysteries, and Netflix’s The Residence.
