Sherlock Holmes: Poisonous People

Lyn McConchie transports us to Victorian London, where Sherlock Holmes and John Watson must solve two cases involving Poisonous People.<P> A POISONING AT THE PUBLISHER: Maid and occasional cook Mary Fellowes has been accused of attempting to poison her employers and the evidence against her is damning – or is it? Is she the scheming and vengeful woman that others describe? Or is she innocent, caught in a web of deceit? Holmes and Watson must follow the evidence, exposing long-buried family secrets and hidden conflict, in order to discover the truth and prevent a deadly injustice.<P> THE DREADFUL DIARY: Who murdered successful businessman Gerald Barnes Wimbledon, and why? Stymied by the case, Scotland Yard calls in Holmes and Watson. Their investigations unearth a hidden diary – a journal whose pages provide motives for several business rivals, as well as for the woman he loved and who spurned him publicly. As Holmes and Watson dig deeper into Wimbledon&apos;s past, they must question everything they have learned about the man calling himself Gerald Barnes Wimbledon, including how he died.
