Vicki Delany's Sherlock Holmes Bookshop series continues to delight with this tenth book, The Incident of the Book in the Nighttime. Readers may not get to meet Gemma's illusive Uncle Arthur who's left in charge of the bookshop back on Cape Cod, but they do get to meet her ex-husband, Paul, who certainly proves how right Gemma was in divorcing him.

Once again, the interplay of all the characters is one of the best things in this book (and the entire series). A fight scene which includes the unlikely weapons of a handbag and an umbrella had me laughing out loud. In addition, a wicked plot twist had me smiling and rethinking my solution to the mystery.

The Incident of the Book in the Nighttime is definitely what my British husband would call "more-ish". I look forward to Gemma's next adventure. It can't come soon enough.
