The Baker Street Letters by Michael Robertson - two brothers, very different, rent offices at 221B Baker Street, not realizing a stipulation of the low rent is answering letters written to Sherlock Holmes. And that's the only connection to Holmes. Most of the book takes place in L.A. when the younger brother decides to personally answer a letter written 20 years ago. I'll try one more in the series because I like the premise.
2.5 stars

Death Come Quickly by Susan Wittig Albert - the 22nd China Bayles book, a cozy mystery series. The author uses an I'm chatting to you in person style which I find irritating, but the story usually makes up for it. Not this time. An attack on an acquaintance that leads to her death has China giving us her views on global warming, urban sprawl, and the judicial system, along with her hatred of Houston traffic. Padding for a thin plot?
