Title: Novel is weak overall
Product review: Hosier's Mrs. Hudson series is very light and sometimes amusing. Sherlock Holmes never appears, although his presence is hinted at--a running joke that is the high point of the series. Otherwise, the mysteries are nothing new and the atmosphere (and any evidence of historical research) lacking. Worst of all, the series violates a cardinal rule of detective fiction, because Mrs. H. solves most of the crimes with the aid of sidekick Violet Warner's knack for using astral projection to project her hypnotized body into the suspect's apartment and the like. What's with that?!?
