  The third in Goldberg's A Daughter of Sherlock Holmes series (following A Study in Treason, 2018) finds the infamous detective's daughter enjoying her celebrity as a London sleuth. Her husband, Dr. John Watson, Jr., narrates Joanna's deductive feats of derring-do. This time a cryptographer has been taken captive by the Germans, and Team Watson must find him before he can be tortured into revealing secrets that could compromise the Royal Navy and its WWI strategy. Fans of the original mysteries will get a chuckle out of the antic language, and there is a mercurial Mary Poppins appeal to this not-to-be-trifled-with heroine that will appeal to fans beyond Baker Street.
