The Serpent Under by Bonnie MacBird

2 January 2025 By Editor

Buy The Serpent Under by Bonnie MacBird

Murder, jealousy, and deceit underscore three interlocking mysteries as Holmes and Watson take on a high profile case at Windsor Castle, a boy drowned in the Serpentine, and a crusading women’s rights activist who suspects a traitor in her organization.

The cases send them into danger into locales as varied as the Palace itself, a dockland cannery, an arts and crafts atelier, and a Gypsy encampment.

But is there peril underfoot as well — even at 221B Baker Street?

The Serpent Under by Bonnie MacBird is published on 2 February, 2025. It’s the sixth in her Sherlock Holmes Adventure series.

There’s more historical mystery and action in Historia’s round-up of over 110 books published this year.
