5.0

Barrister Reggie Heath's law office is located where 221B Baker Street would be if it existed. As part of his lease agreement, he has to respond to the letters that people send to Sherlock Holmes with a scripted answer that Sherlock has retired. Unfortunately the Barrister doesn't like receiving the letters so he sends them to his brother Nigel in the US to handle, but Nigel strays from the script at times. Because of this Reggie is thrown into a dispute between a translator and the woman that hired him while trying to help locate his rival, Lord Robert Buxton, who has suddenly gone missing. He finds that he must solve all of this before everything literally blows up during an upcoming royal event.

This is the third book in the series but it's only the first one that I've read. A previous case was mentioned a few times, but I didn't feel lost or confused by not reading the previous books. The Baker Street Translation was a quick read for me and it had a really good pace throughout. I look forward to reading the other books in the series.

Fun. Not life-altering but a good romp.
