THE ADVENTURE OF THE MURDERED MIDWIFE
By: Liese Sherwood-Fabré
The Plot:
Before Sherlock Holmes became the world’s
greatest consulting detective...
Scandal rocked the Holmes family.
Only weeks into his first year at
Eton, Sherlock‘s father calls him and his
brother back to Underbyrne, the ances-
tral estate. The village midwife has been
found with a pitchfork in her back in the
estate‘s garden, and Mrs. Holmes has
been accused of the murder. Can Sher-
lock find the true killer in time to save
her from the gallows?
***** Goodreads Review by Sally Sugarman:
―This is a book once I started, I couldn‘t put down….
The relationship between Mycroft and Sherlock was
perfect. [T]he time period was recreated convincingly.‖

An Excerpt
They told me the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing
fields of Eton, and I knew I should have been honored to be at
the institution; but at age thirteen, I hated it. The whole bloody
place. I remained only because my parents‘ disappointment
would have been too great a disgrace to bear.
My aversion culminated about a month after my arrival when
I was forced into a boxing match on the school‘s verdant side
lawn. I had just landed a blow to Charles Fitzsimmons‘s nose,
causing blood to pour from both nostrils, when the boys crowd-
ing around us parted. One of the six-form prefects joined us in
the circle‘s center.
After glancing first at Fitzsimmons, he said to me, ―Sherlock
Holmes, you‘re wanted in the Head Master‘s office. Come
along.‖
Even though I‘d been at the school only a few weeks, I knew
no one was called to the director‘s office unless something was
terribly wrong.
