REVIEW: The Game is a Footnote

 The Game is a Footnote
Author: Vicki Delany


In this 8th book in the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery series, Gemma Doyle is faced with an odd request -- Stay the night in the local historical museum because it might be haunted. 

Ghost hunting? Yep! 

Turns out there's a lot going on at the old Scarlet House. First it's just noises and odd occurrences....but then someone ends up dead. It's no longer just pranks....it's murder. The game is afoot! 

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. The plot was engaging. I was wondering what the heck was going on until the very end! 

I once again tried to guess the killer's identity, and was completely wrong. Someday I will guess right! 

I love the idea of a Sherlock Holmes themed bookstore and gift shop with a Mrs. Hudson's tea room right next door. I would be a repeat customer if anything remotely like that was near where I live! I'm enjoying the character development as the series goes on. At first, I had a hard time really liking the main character, Gemma. But, she has grown on me over 8 books.  

Definitely enjoying this series! Moving on to the next book!
