The Mystery of the Maid
London, 1932. A young maid is dismissed and disappears without a trace. Not knowing who to turn to, the girl's family writes to the only man they believe can help: Sherlock Holmes. Unfortunately, Holmes is merely a fictional character. However, an unexpected reply arrives from 221B Baker Street.
Harriet White knows that replying to the letter could get her into trouble, but her curiosity is stronger than her fear. After rejecting her boss's advances, Harriet was demoted to the correspondence department of the banking institution where she works. Her task? To mechanically reply to the letters addressed to the famous detective with the same message: "Mr. Holmes has retired."
However, this letter, which describes the disappearance of a young maid under suspicious circumstances, awakens something in Harriet. Guided by her passion for Conan Doyle's stories, she decides to take on the role of Sherlock Holmes's assistant and investigate the case.
With courage, intelligence, and only her instincts to help her, Harriet dives into a world of dangerous mysteries. But will she be able to find the truth before the price to pay is too high?
Full of suspense, humor, and unexpected twists, The Mystery of the Maid is a brilliant and thrilling adventure with an unforgettable heroine at the center of the action.
