    About this ebook

    Award-winning author of the Laura Fleming mysteries and the “Where Are They Now?” mystery series

    Tilda Harper, a freelance entertainment writer who specializes in tracking down the formerly famous, has a weekend gig moderating discussions at a Sherlock Holmes convention. She’s hoping to pick up some new scoops, but gets more than she’d bargained for when an ex-TV star is murdered during a panel Tilda is in charge of. The police think it’s an accident, but Tilda isn’t convinced. With the help of Vincent, a devoted Sherlockian who knows even more about the fan world that she does, Tilda has to match wits with not just one master detective, but six different incarnations of Sherlock Holmes.

    “The Adventure of the Six Sherlocks” is an exciting return to the Where Are They Now? series for Agatha Award-winner Toni L.P. Kelner.

      PRAISE FOR THE WHERE ARE THEY NOW? MYSTERY SERIES

      Curse of the Kissing Cousins

      "An engaging premise and an engaging heroine make Curse of the Kissing Cousins one of the pleasure reads of the year."

      —Charlaine Harris

      A merry chase through cyberspace and stacks of dusty magazines, adding in a little romance to keep things humming.

      —Publishers Weekly

      Sassy … Laced with Hollywood tidbits that may please trivia fans.

      —Kirkus Reviews

      [A] suitably dramatic climax and then all is explained in an equally satisfying denouement. This is a light frothy contemporary mystery with an engaging protagonist and it will be interesting to see where Kelner takes Tilda and the series in future books.

      —Gumshoe Review

      A well-written thriller. Secondary characters add zest to the story. Author Toni Keiner has taken a page from her heroine, Tilda; she delivers the goods. I look forward to reading more adventures of Tilda Harper, and so will you.

      —Romance Reviews Today

      Who Killed the Pinup Queen?

      A fast-paced read that fans of television nostalgia will quickly add to their must-read lists.

      —The Mystery Reader

      "Fascinating. Readers will root for the admirable heroine and seek her previous ‘Where Are They Now?’ investigation, Curse of the Kissing Cousins."

      —Genre Go Round Reviews

      Interesting foray into the world of pinups and television westerns. Recommended.

      —I Love a Mystery

      First class! Not only a solid mystery, but an interesting look at old-time television and pop culture. Two thumbs up!

      —Mystery Heel

      Toni L.P. Kelner did a great job in keeping the book flowing with stuff happening so you just couldn’t put it down long enough to do much anything at all.

      —Once Upon a Romance

      This series is a must for anyone with a love of popular culture, especially of days gone by.

      —Seattle Mystery Bookshop Blog

      Blast from the Past

      "Blast from the Past has great characters that come alive off of the pages… Kelner is able to weave a twisted tale that takes the reader into the past and back with ease."

      —The Romance Readers Connection

      "[Blast from the Past] gets to that point of ‘not wanting to put it down’ good."

      —Once Upon a Romance

      The latest Where Are They Now? Harper tale is a great read.

      —Genre Go Round Reviews

      This was a very enjoyable read with a good mix of plot and characters against a great backdrop of Cape Cod.

      —Mystery and My Musings

      The Adventure of the Six Sherlocks

      Only 'The Adventure of the Six Sherlocks,' Toni L.P. Kelner’s inventive, amusing story of a fatal poisoning at a Baker Street Con, hits the mark in every category.

      —Kirkus

      "Teens familiar with the surplus of Holmes online fan fiction will
