MRS HUDSON AND THE SPIRITS CURSE
Book ID/图书代码: 12691015B85025
English Summary/英文概要: From acclaimed author Martin Davies comes a rollicking new take on Sherlock Holmes: the Kindle #1 bestselling classic crime Mrs Hudson & the Spirits’ Curse, the first Holmes & Hudson Mystery
What if Baker Street’s most gifted resident wasn’t called Sherlock Holmes?
An evil stalks London, blown in from the tropics. Stories of cursed giant rats and malign spirits haunt the garrets of Limehouse. A group of merchants are, one by one, dying: murdered, somehow. The elementary choice to investigate these mysterious deaths is, of course, Holmes and Dr Watson. Yet instead of deduction, it will be the unique gifts of their housekeeper, Mrs Hudson and her orphaned assistant Flotsam that will be needed to solve the case. Can she do it all under the nose of Sherlock himself?
From the coal fire at Baker Street to the smog of Whitechapel and the jungles of Sumatra, from snake bites in grand hotels to midnight carriage chases at the docks, it’s time for Mrs Hudson to step out of the shadows. Playfully breaking with convention, Martin Davies brings a fresh twist to classic Victorian mystery.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 知名作家Martin Davies推出的最新福尔摩斯系列力作:Kindle最畅销经典罪案小说《哈德森太太和幽灵的诅咒》——第一部福尔摩斯&哈德森系列作品。
如果说贝克街最有天赋的居民并非夏洛克•福尔摩斯呢?
被诅咒的巨型老鼠和邪恶的幽灵经常出现在莱姆豪斯的阁楼上。一群商人一个一个地死去:不是被谋杀就是别的什么原因。当然,最好是请福尔摩斯和华生医生来调查这些离奇的死亡。但这一次,将由他们的管家哈德森太太和她的助手Flotsam来破获这起案件。在夏洛克的鼻子底下,她能成功完成任务吗?
从贝克街的煤矿火灾到白教堂的烟雾和苏门答腊的丛林,从大酒店被蛇咬到码头上午夜时分的马车追逐,是时候让哈德森太太走出阴影了。本书打破传统,讲述了一个新鲜而经典的维多利亚时代的神秘故事,读来精彩有趣。(LYR)
