Sherlock Holmes and the Ice Palace Murdersby Larry Millett
Sherlock Holmes spends part of January of 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The weather is very cold, suitable for the city's Winter Carnival. Holmes and Watson have been invited to the city to solve a mystery, however, not to attend the festival. A young man, Jonathan Upton, has disappeared on the eve of his wedding. At the Ice Palace, Holmes finds a gold pin suspended in a block of ice. Then he notices the head of a man encased in another block of ice--Jonathan Upton. Holmes, of course, cannot resist the challenge of solving the murder. In addition to the stalwart Watson, he is helped by the colorful and savvy saloon owner Shadwell Rafferty. Millett has written other adventures featuring Holmes, Watson, and Rafferty. This is the best. -- recommended by Rianne S. - Bennett Martin Public Library
