A sudden death in the Vatican. An international incident over stolen artifacts. A priest's wrongful imprisonment for murder. Follow the great detective as he investigates three baffling cases at the "express desire of his Holiness, the Pope." In this collection of three of the great detective's untold tales, mentioned in the original Holmes stories, the voices of dr. John H. Watson and the legendary Pope Leo XIII reveal how the great Sherlock Holmes brought three grim ecclesial cases to startling and poignant conclusions.

I love Sherlock. "Murder in The Vatican" is right up my alley. Thanks Susanne.
The book sounds intriguing, Ann. Congratulations. And you are a singer too. What a nice talent to have.
Enjoyed your review, Susanne.
Wow, that's a busy tour! It sounds like a fantastic book - thank you for the heads up!
Hi Susanne and Ann .. thanks - the book does sound extremely interesting .. fascinating seeing some of the workings inside the Vatican.
What a cool looking book! And she's so diverse in her books pubbed! No brnading or pigeon-holing there. Awesome. Plus, like Sharon, I'm completely impressed by the research she must have to do for each book.
Thanks for sharing about her, Susanne! Have a great week!
Thanks so much for hosting Ann on her book tour! Ann does do a lot of research and has a real love for Holmes & Watson. I did a mini-review of her book on fabianspace.blogspot.com, and there are several other reviews on the tour.
Blessings,

Thanks for having me on your blog, Susanne. It's always a joy to meet a fellow Michigander (I know, folks say the "gander" is sexist...but it just sounds better). And you are a gracious host, too!
If anyone has questions about the book, please feel free to email me at annlewis (at) joesystems.com.
Blessings!
