The Affair of the Mysterious Letter by Alexis Hall

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

5.0

hold onto your deerstalker hats, folks, because this gender-bending, genre-defying romp through the fantastical city of Khelathra-Ven is an absolute riot! the clever twist on the classic Sherlock Holmes tale is a page turner.

picture this: a brilliant, but slightly eccentric sorceress named shaharazad haas takes on the role of the iconic detective, with her trusty sidekick, captain john wyndham, by her side. together, they embark on a wild journey filled with magical creatures, dastardly villains, and plenty of witty banter.

but what truly sets this book apart is its sheer irreverence and charm. Hall effortlessly blends elements of mystery, fantasy, and humor into a delightful concoction that's impossible to put down. from the absurdly hilarious antics of the characters to the laugh-out-loud dialogue, every page is a joy to read.
 

if you're in the mood for a rollicking good time that's equal parts Sherlock Holmes and Monty Python, "The Affair of the Mysterious Letter" is the perfect pick!
