Set in one of the grand stately homes of England in the early 1920s, this beloved series of stories re-imagines Sherlock Holmes as the buttoned-up butler and John Watson as the home's gardener. Sweetly sexy and deeply romantic, this collection includes the series' eight original stories, following the course of a love affair by turns gentle and passionate, but always spoken of in whispers; a holiday visit to their cosy new home; and a brand new, never-before-published story which finds Holmes and Watson challenged by the sudden appearance in their lives of a woman with an aim to become mistress of their house.
