The author sent me a review copy of this book (thank you). It is available on Amazon as an ebook and soon will be offered as print copies also.
James and Mina Stark have a talent for solving occult problems in the Victorian age. I found Mr. Doyle's varied "hooks" to draw you through the story very satisfying and the plot is very different and ingenious in its execution.
Simon, a young boy, has had his body stolen from him and he's now occupying a wooden boy that he used to play with as a child. He asks James and Mina to help him get his body back...
The story is well-paced, has lots of action, and a few surprises along the way.
As I read this tale, I couldn't help thinking it would make a really animated tale. Or even a graphic novel. It just has that sort of feel.
I really enjoyed reading this novelette and hope there will be more James and Mina mysteries. Get yourself a copy and check it out!
