A Taste for Honey

Twenty years have passed since the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes retired from 221B Baker Street, and no one has heard from him since. So when country recluse Sydney Silchester meets a beekeeping Londoner with impeccable powers of deductive reasoning and a keen interest in murder who introduces himself as “Mr. Mycroft,” the name of Sherlock’s older brother, Sydney doesn’t blink an eye. Whatever his name, Mycroft Holmes is among the greatest sleuths in the world, and with Sydney’s help, he’ll solve some of the most unusual mysteries in history.
 
With A Taste for Honey (1941), Reply Paid (1942), and The Notched Hairpin (1949), author H. F. Heard gives us one of the most brilliant detectives of all time.
