Recenzje

"What could be a better present this season than a new Christmas case for Sherlock Holmes? Bonnie MacBird's worthy pastiche takes us back to 221B Baker Street in a snowy Victorian December." -The Wall Street Journal

"The brilliant MacBird manages to produce a tale which is both authentic and original, yet pays homage to the genius of Arthur Conan Doyle."
-Dundee Courier

"Neatly emulates the style and tone of Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories ... If you're in the mood for light seasonal entertainment, albeit with a serious underlay, look no further."
-Michael Dirda, Washington Post

"Perfectly captures the essence of Conan Doyle's fiction."-Independent

"MacBird's series grows stronger with each book and she remains the best and most faithful pastiche writer out there today - bar none."-The Doyleockian

"Victorian London comes alive in this enthralling Christmas mystery, written with intelligence, style, and lovely period detail."
-Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author

"What Child Is This? is the most charming, entertaining Holmesian yarn I've read in years... A must read for Holmesians-and others!"
- Matt Witten, bestselling author of The Necklace

"Bonnie MacBird's What Child is This? stimulates the mind while it warms the heart. It confirms what we long believed: Not only is Sherlock Holmes the Great Detective, he is a great man."-Leslie S. Klinger, bestselling anthologist and Sherlockian author

"A tender, beautifully fashioned homage to Holmes and Watson, and the power of love."-Nancy Holder, bestselling author of The Wicked Saga

"No one can surpass Conan Doyle at his best, but a select few pastiche writers get close enough that they can almost reach out and touch the master. Bonnie MacBird is one of those writers that achieves this consistently. If you need a Holmes story for Christmas (and who doesn't?) get hold of this immediately."-The Doyleockian
