A novel by Edith Barron
Think you know the greatest detective at Baker Street? Think again.
★★★★�� ‘A thoroughly delightful and historically accurate Victorian mystery.’ — Susan Sloate, bestselling author
To the world, Mrs Hudson is merely the quiet landlady of 221B — a respectable widow who pours the tea while Sherlock Holmes solves London’s most extraordinary mysteries.
But the truth is very different.
Behind the modest dress and carefully maintained disguise is a woman with a remarkable past. Once a daring performer in a travelling circus, Mrs Hudson learned that those who move unseen often possess the greatest advantage.
Now she investigates the cases others overlook.
Until one overlooked clue threatens the heart of the nation.
When Mrs Hudson uncovers whispers of secret tunnels beneath Westminster, she finds herself drawn into a conspiracy that echoes one of the darkest plots in British history.
But the authorities refuse to believe her. Even Holmes dismisses the notion as nothing more than superstition.
With the State Opening of Parliament approaching and a new Gunpowder Plot taking shape beneath the streets of London, Mrs Hudson must uncover the truth before history repeats itself.
Moving through servants' passages, hidden corners and the forgotten places of the capital, she follows a trail that leads closer to the powerful men behind the conspiracy.
This time, the greatest challenge is not discovering the plot.
It is convincing anyone that it exists.
Mrs Hudson and the Gunpowder Plot is the second instalment in The Secret Cases of Baker Street ''' an atmospheric Victorian mystery series revealing the unseen detective behind London’s most famous address.
Because sometimes the person standing quietly in the background is the one who sees everything.
