Anyway, this one centered more on Nell than on Irene and Nell comes face to face with how much she’s changed when she comes face to face with someone from her governess days. Quentin Stanup was the uncle of some of her charges. He remembers her and collapses at her feet. He was a spy in the war in Afghanistan and was betrayed and his betrayal (bad information) was the cause of a huge defeat of the English Army. Many men died and the traitor spy has been after Stanup ever since. Quentin remembers being treated by a Doctor Watson over there and of course it is THE Dr. Watson. As usual, both Holmes and Irene are working different angles of essentially the same case. And as usual, Holmes is working what he believes to be the noble side, but it isn’t and Irene has to figure out a way to deal with him as well as her own problems. I really thought that at the end, Nell and Quentin would end up together, but Quentin disappears again after fighting with the traitor spy and falling into the Thames. No bodies are recovered and months go by when Nell receives a package in France. It is Quentin’s medal from the war. A tantalizing hint that he is still alive and still wants Nell. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
