"Fans of Sherlock Holmes will be thrilled to meet his fearless and
brilliant daughter, Joanna. Once again the game's afoot, and a new
Holmes and Watson unite to solve the unsolvable in this delightful
adventure by Leonard Goldberg." --Tess Gerritsen, New York Times
bestselling author of I Know a Secret "Cleverly crafted with
fascinating characters and a plot that Conan Doyle would be proud
of. Sherlock fans looking for a new series need look no further
than Goldberg's well developed and fascinating tale!" --M.J. Rose,
New York Times bestselling author "Adventure, murder, family
secrets and intrigue are abound in this novel, which has incredible
characters who are charming, cunning and smart as a whip. Goldberg
has successfully intertwined historical facts with fiction, and has
created a must-read novel for fans of historical mystery and of
Sherlock Holmes." --RT Book Reviews "The Daughter of Sherlock
Holmes is a nicely rendered tale that will appeal to Sherlockian
readers of all shades. The language and settings are faithful to
Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. John Jr. acts as narrator
rather than Dr. Watson, and Joanna is an alluring replacement for
the great detective.... The rigorous, well-placed clues, an
unexpected and satisfying climactic twist, and the likable Joanna
make this a welcome addition to the Shelock Holmes world."
--Mystery Scene
"This clever book will keep you on the edge of your seat with its
many thrilling twists and turns. The plot is worthy of Conan
Doyle's originals, and I hope to see many more adventures of Joanna
Blalock and John Watson, Jr." --Historical Novel Society
"Goldberg's Sherlock Holmes pastiche is pitch-perfect as John
Watson Jr. becomes the voice of a new generation and Joanna Blalock
takes on her role as leader of the investigation. Fans of Laurie R.
King's "Mary Russell" books will welcome a fellow female to the
ranks of Holmes followers." --Library Journal "Goldberg, well-known
for his medical thrillers, fuels the unquenchable fascination with
Sherlock Holmes by combining detailed medical knowledge with the
skills reincarnated in the Great Detective's daughter." --Kirkus
Reviews
"Engaging... Joanna is Holmes' daughter, even down to echoing the
great man's occasional lapses into smugness: 'Allow me to draw your
attention....'" --Booklist
"A compelling murder mystery that's genuinely difficult to solve
without the help of Mrs. Blalock and Dr. Watson." --Reviewing the
Evidence blog "Here's a charming cozy with a new and delightful
spin on the Holmes and Watson partnership.... The game is afoot
once more! I look forward to following this engaging series."
--BookLoons blog "The game is definitely afoot. Readers can follow
along as they uncover clues, play with theories, and do their best
to uncover the truth that will solve the case. There's danger,
misdirection, surprises, a bit of romance, and characters that are
interesting and believable." --Gumshoe Review "The author has done
a superb job with Blalock. She certainly sounds a great deal like a
character we all love. And it was a thrill to see Watson and his
son, as well as Miss Hudson, the housekeeper, and the dim-witted
Lestrade once again. The story is well thought out and the mystery
keeps you reading." --Suspense Magazine Praise for Leonard
Goldberg's Previous Novels:
"Loaded with suspense and believable characters" --T. Jefferson
Parker "Strap on your seat belts for a thrilling ride. Leonard
Goldberg pulls out all the stops in this action-packed tale that's
sure to keep you flipping the pages." --Tess Gerritsen, New York

you could ask for." --Kirkus Reviews on Patient One
