London. The capital of an empire. And, once again, the game is afoot! In this highly thrilling mystery, Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr Watson embark on a mission to find a painting stolen from one of the King’s residences while the Royal Illusionist, Horace Goldin, was performing. While not currently under suspicion, the cheerful foreigner Goldin would like to have the matter resolved as quickly as possible and seeks the duo’s aid. Holmes and Watson travel to Sandringham House disguised as assistants in the illusionist’s act and discreetly investigate the matter. Navigating mysteries and kings, illusions and brutish aides, the duo explore Sandringham House and its grounds, racing against the clock to solve the mystery.

By meiringen A trip to Sandringham House, this time out, and Holmes, Watson and Lestrade have to find a stolen painting. Just when you think it's all over, "the game's afoot" again, and Holmes faces one of the toughest tests of his life. Enjoyable, and a page-truner, especially towards the end.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Typically brisk Holmes pastiche By F. J. Harvey Despite their brevity there is often an element of padding in the Sherlock Holmes novels by Val Andrews ,and this is no exception .There are ,within its less than 200 large print pages ,3 plot strands .It begins with the great detective accepting an assignment from a noted stage magician , Golden , to investigate the theft of a Rembrandt painting from King Edward the Eighth's Summer residence at Sandringham Palace ,the painting having gone missing during a private performance by the conjurer before the King and other distinguished guests including Kaiser Wilhelm .Golden is not suspected of complicity in the theft but is anxious to remove any lingering doubts about his innocence by having the mystery resolved .Disguised as magician's assistants Holmes and Watson accompany him on his next trip to the Palace .They quickly resolve the mystery and restore the painting to its rightful ownwr ; the theft is not entirely unconnected to certain of the distinguished visitors .Soon thereafter Holmes goes missing and we move on to phase 2 of the plot when Watson and Lestrade hunt for the missing Holmes in a race against time .The final part of the book is a neat but wholly superfluous piece of non -criminous deduction from the great man .Andrews has tackled international politics in other books in the series and it rears its head again this time around ,and again as previously the author shows an interest in stage magic.Brisk and enjoyable for what it is this is a passable time-filler
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. too much going on here By Nancy O aargh. If the author would stick to one plot instead of trying to do so much in the short amount of space he has, I'd be grateful. The main plot of this novel was good -- Sherlock Holmes is called upon by a stage magician who had the honor of performing for his majesty King Edward VII at Sandringham House. While there, a theft of a valuable Rembrandt painting occurred, and even though the magician has been cleared of the theft, he worries that his reputation will suffer if word gets out. So he asks Holmes & Watson to help him. The magician has been invited to return to Sandringham House to once again perform, and wants Holmes & Watson to accompany him & investigate the theft. Now that is a good plot, but instead of trying to flesh that out somewhat, we have two other plot lines that muddy what could have been a good story. -sigh-If you're planning on trying this as your first Holmes pastiche, don't. Try some others, then come back around to this one -- it's not as enjoyable as others I've read.
