What readers say
Anna Elliott is best known for the Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James mysteries, written with her father Charles Veley, which pair a faithful Watson voice with Holmes's spirited daughter Lucy. Readers enjoy the well-researched Victorian settings, a Watson who stays true to character, the brave, impulsive heroine and the family-friendly tone, and many praise the audiobooks. Common criticisms are uneven later entries with weaker storylines, short stories that feel slight next to the novels, a heroine some find too forceful, and occasional darker plot turns that put a few readers off.
Best for: Readers who want clean, adventurous Sherlock Holmes pastiches with a strong heroine.
