Prologue
She’s back yet again! Welcome Lady Juliet Armstrong, Baroness Crestwell once more to our pages. A former sensation of the London musical stage; a feisty member of the British nobility by marriage but recently, a most definitely deceased arrival at the Elysian Fields. The obstreperous noblewoman was not content to don her halo and bland heavenly garb and join the other celestial denizens in eternal bliss. She had been shot and wanted to find the blighter who did it and bring him/her to justice before going to her eternal reward. Who else to solve the mystery than Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson? Clad in her scarlet Parisian evening gown and wearing a chic corona fashionably tilted on her head, she persuaded the powers that be in Heaven to allow her to return to Earth and seek out Holmes’ assistance. Thus began the first story in Book One of this collection of tales that takes the Glamorous Ghost, Holmes and Watson on a wild tour of crimes, personalities, situations and locations.
Holmes, no believer in ghosts, reluctantly acknowledged the noblewoman’s otherworldly existence and agreed to cooperate with her in what has evolved into a series of semi-supernatural adventures. Watson followed suit.
Another ghostly and no less glamorous character aids and abets throughout. Pookie, a very clever and highly opinionated Bichon Frisé who predeceased her Baronial mistress, barks, whines and wags her way into the proceedings at every turn. Unruly as her owner, she is always instrumental in keeping the action going.
In Book Two, the Baroness and her dog continued their excursions from Paradise back to Earth with Holmes and the good Doctor. Becoming aware of the two winsome wraiths, Mrs. Hudson also linked up with the merry band. Many characters from previous Holmes and Lady Juliet stories also passed through the pages.
Now in Book Three, the madcap mystical mischief and mayhem carries on. Join us for more fantasy and tongue-in-cheek fun!
