A Scandal in Scarlet: A Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery by Vicki Delany

She's out for a walk with her dog when she discovers a fire in the West London Museum.  There's a lot of damage done, so they decide to have an auction to raise funds.  But before the auction begins, the Museum Board Chair is found dead in the back room...

Crooked Lane Books and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published November 23rd.

Gemma tries to keep her nose out of it but the shopowner across the street asks for her aid.  They are looking at her for the murder...

The dead woman was a bit harsh and outspoken so she had more than one enemy in town.  As Gemma gets closer to the truth, the more dangerous it gets.  Another woman ends up dead.

I have to admit the killer in this one surprised me.  They weren't on my suspects list.  How'd you do?
