Review

“MacBird’s artistry will keep readers eagerly turning the pages.”
―Michael Dirda, Washington Post

“Perfectly captures the essence of Conan Doyle's fiction.'
―Independent

“MacBird's series grows stronger with each book and she remains the best and most faithful pastiche writer out there today – bar none.”
―The Doylockian

“Victorian London comes alive in this enthralling Christmas mystery, written with intelligence, style, and lovely period detail.” 
―Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author

“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
