Publisher Description

Storms, Secrets, and Schemes on Lake Windermere! At England's favorite summer retreat, Sherlock Holmes, Lucy, and their companions trade Baker Street for breezy straw hats and seaside disguises—but danger follows them even on holiday.

While searching for their missing ally, Amy Thiel, they stumble upon another mystery: the sudden disappearance of a prominent attorney's wife. The charade soon unravels. Flynn is recognized by his old foe, the infamous assassin known as the Burner, and narrowly survives an ambush.

Meanwhile, Holmes and Lucy investigate a decades-old tragedy involving a storm, a paddle-wheel steamer, and the death of their client's son. But their search turns deadly when a sniper takes aim at Holmes and Watson aboard the very same boat.

As Becky discovers a hidden lair where two women are held captive, the team realizes Windermere's idyllic waters conceal deadly secrets. With a storm brewing and enemies closing in, the Baker Street team must pull off a daring rescue, outwit their foes, and solve the mysteries before the lake claims more lives.

Perfect for fans of Conan Doyle's wit, Christie's clever twists, and high-stakes adventure, Holmes Takes a Holiday is a thrilling escape packed with suspense, charm, and summer intrigue.
