Sherlock Holmes and the Ice Palace Murders: A Minnesota Mystery Featuring Shadwell Rafferty Audiobook (Free)

When among 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, as well as the magnificent winter carnival is under way in St. Paul, Minnesota, when Holmes and Watson are summoned with the city’s most powerful guy, railroad magnate James J. Hill. A rich young man has disappeared over the eve of his wedding-and his fiancée suspiciously discards her wedding dress. After a grisly discovery in the carnival’s ice palace about Sherlock Holmes as well as the Snow Palace Murders: A Minnesota Secret Featuring Shadwell Rafferty qualified prospects to a flurry of clues, Holmes is within the case.

His quest for the murderer calls for him through the best echelons of St. Paul culture and into cahoots with Shadwell Rafferty, a gregarious saloon owner and part-time private investigator. Shortly Holmes, Watson, and Rafferty are embroiled inside a perilous adventure that requires them in one freezing corner of the town to some other and out onto the treacherous ice from the Mississippi River as they path a cruel and ruthless killer.

“Millett’s Holmes is a good look-alike of Conan Doyle’s initial, but the true triumph here is Rafferty, who lamps up each scene in which he appears, adding a distinctively American bounce to a good, complex mystery distinguished by its vibrant portrayal of nineteenth-century St. Paul. Holmes fans may feel free to suggestion their deerstalkers.”-Publishers Weekly
