The Three Locks by Bonnie MacBird (HarperCollins UK)

Heatwave in London. Watson gets a silver ornated box, apparently from his deceased mother, but without the key and Holmes tries to solve the death of escape artist. Finally they find themselves in Cambridge, where the murder of young woman happened.

Sherlockian feeling and atmosphere are perfect, the narrative fluent and Holmes and Watson remain tireless warriors for the wronged.

Intelligent read.

Highly recommend it.
