SJ ROZAN

“Bonnie MacBird, in What Child is This?, paints a perfect picture of a Victorian Christmas in London—decorated shops, scents of pine boughs and of treats baking, people buying gifts, and Sherlock Holmes grumping through it all. Until two cases arrive on his doorstep and he can ignore the sentiment of the season and get on with the ratiocination. I enjoyed this book from beginning to satisfying end.”

— SJ Rozan, bestselling author of Family Business

MATT WITTEN

What Child Is This? is the most charming, entertaining Holmesian yarn I’ve read in years. True to the curmudgeonly character, this schmaltz-free Christmas novel also gives a fascinating look at the attitudes toward love and family in late Victorian England—while deftly weaving a suitably Sherlockian double mystery. A must read for Holmesians—and others!”

— Matt Witten, bestselling author of The Necklace
