About this listen

When one of Minnesota's wealthiest scions goes missing, it's up to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to track a cold-blooded killer.

The year is 1896, and the magnificent winter carnival is under way in St. Paul, Minnesota, when Holmes and Watson are summoned by the city's most powerful man, railroad magnate James J. Hill. A wealthy young man has disappeared on the eve of his wedding - and his fiancée suspiciously discards her wedding dress. After a grisly discovery in the carnival's ice palace leads to a flurry of clues, Holmes is on the case.

His pursuit of the murderer takes him through the highest echelons of St. Paul society and into cahoots with Shadwell Rafferty, a gregarious saloon owner and part-time private investigator. Soon Holmes, Watson, and Rafferty are embroiled in a perilous adventure that takes them from one frozen corner of the city to another and out onto the treacherous ice of the Mississippi River as they trail a cruel and ruthless killer.

Little bit tired at this point of every important woman character in these stories having their appearance as such a major part of the character and ‘the most beautiful’ etc.

Can you just describe the characters appearance neutrally and then skip to their personality and intelligence like you would make characters? Why do they always have to be beautiful.

Can we stop making every woman in this series ‘the most beautiful they’ve ever seen’

Great for the author to highlight some of the little bits of actual history included in the story also.

True to Holmes. Author's closing much appreciated.
