The Devil's Grin
by Annelie Wendeberg
I really enjoyed this book. I believe the author has made good use of Sherlock Holmes in this story, and the interaction between him and the main character is quite interesting.
The protagonist is one Dr. Anna Kronberg, who must pose as a man in order to practice medicine, as it is still illegal in her time for a woman to have a medical degree and license. Therefore, she practices as Dr. Anton Kronberg.
Upon her first encounter with Holmes, he immediately deduces her disguise, but doesn't even threaten to expose her. They continue to work together in a case involving Cholera, Tetanus, and biological research that has less than honorable intentions.
"The Devil's Grin" seems to refer to the expression on the face of a person dying from Tetanus.
This is a very entertaining, engaging story that is part one of a series. There is a preview of the second book at the end of this one, and it would be nice, at some point, to obtain and read it.
