In this clever new series, Gemma Doyle, manager of the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, uses Sherlockian logic to figure out a crime scene she reluctantly stumbles into.Gemma has come to West London in Cape Cod for a fresh start after her divorce. She manages the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium for her great uncle, Arthur Doyle, a Sherlock Holmes aficionado. He bought the building for its address: 222 Baker Street. Next door (220 Baker Street), Jayne Wilson, who co-owns Mrs. Hudson’s Tea Room, has become Gemma’s best friend and confidant. The two shops are connected, benefiting both businesses.The story kick-off: While tidying up after twenty-four women on a bridge group holiday sweep in, shop, and leave, Gemma comes across a bag wedged between some books. Inside the bag is what appears to be an original edition of a magazine containing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s first story. If not fake, it could be worth a fortune. Gemma finds a postcard in the bag with the name of the hotel where the magazine’s owner must be staying. After stashing the magazine in her great uncle’s safe at home, she and Jayne set out for the hotel to ask a few questions before returning the magazine. They find a dead body, and the game is afoot.The characters are deftly drawn: Gemma isn’t the Sherlock Holmes fan both her great uncle and Jayne are, but her mind works, ironically, like the Great Detective’s. She can take every little detail and arrive at accurate conclusions in a way that disconcerts local police and even wrecked a fine romance. Jayne is her Doctor Watson, sensible, anchored, and yet secretly thrilling to the adventure Gemma drags her into. Other quirky characters move the plot along: great uncle Arthur who, despite being in his 90s, has wanderlust and is on a trip in this story. The author’s brushstrokes are just enough to make him vivid by his absence. (This reader hopes he pops up again in a future book.) Then there is Ruby, the grumpy clerk at the shop cash register; Irene Talbot, the journalist hungry for a story; two book collectors (one hunky, one boring), who take an interest in the magazine; Detective Louise Estrada, out to pin a murder rap on Gemma; a dysfunctional family of would-be heirs . . . and many minor characters breeze through the pages with life and humor. Gemma, as a matter of fact, has some very funny lines throughout.This is a mystery that is both satisfying in the puzzle sense and disarming to a reader who lies cozy mysteries with endearing sleuths. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good story, unsolvable mystery *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2022* This is a very good story. But I prefer mysteries that the reader is given a chance to solve. There is no evidence connecting the murderer to the victims before the very end of the book. Which I would call cheating. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok story but tries too hard to be quirky *by L***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 30, 2022* Building sympathy for the protagonist was difficult because the constant use of British words was just annoying. She's been living in US for five years. Can't she just get over it.Story was ok, but I suspect that the cat may be right, she's not a nice person. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/62484472-elementary-she-read](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/62484472-elementary-she-read) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
