For Queen and Country - Untold Sherlock Holmes Adventures

For Queen and Country is a series of Sherlock Holmes series that brings us a new character Emily Watson. There are two books in the series so far  - the first, 'Devil At Prayers' has been translated and released in Italian by Mondadori. The second book, 'A Necessary End' is released in October 2025.

"The Devil at Prayers is an extremely intriguing Sherlock Holmes novel that follows Emily Watson, half-sister of Dr. John Watson. Emily lives with her twin sister at a manor in the English countryside. When James Moriarty, infamous adversary of Sherlock Holmes, comes to visit, Emily learns she is related to John Watson. Emily goes to London and introduces herself, soon getting involved in a class Sherlock Holmes case. In the process she learns more about herself, her past, and her relationship with her brother. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The twists and turns of the plot were exciting, and the characters were all well rounded and multi-faceted. The writing style, specifically Emily’s voice, maintains a balance between casual and formal that makes it easily digestible for readers while realistically fitting its 19th century historical period."
