Synopsis

After her recent adventures in Paris, Mrs Hudson travels to Bilbourne, a small village in Kent, to stay with her married daughter, Eleanor. Set in September during the hop harvest at a nearby plantation owned by Thomas Brakefield, her visit quickly proves far from restful.

Drawn into a web of dark passions that ends in a brutal murder, Mrs Hudson pursues the perpetrator at considerable personal risk. The story features a wide cast, including Thomas Brakefield, his wife Lydia and daughter Eve, the Squire Simister and his son Freddie, disgruntled hop pickers, and Timothy, a workhouse boy whom Mrs Hudson takes under her wing.

What The Sherlock Holmes Journal of London said

“Rarely do I finish a book in one sitting; on this occasion I had to burn the midnight oil to find out what happened in the end. If Mr Holmes ever worried about his competition, he need only look under his own roof; in Mrs Hudson, he may have well and truly met his match in terms of her investigating skills!”
