A Baker Street Wedding

Purchase link 
When Reggie Heath Q.C. and actress Laura Rankin finally get married, the paparazzi crash the wedding and it is pandemonium with cake flying. In A Baker Street Wedding by Michael Robertson, law clerk Lois inadvertently reveals the location of the wedding and the press invades. This forces Laura and Reggie to hop into a small plane and fly to who knows where.

Surprising Reggie, too, Laura expertly lands them in Bodfyn Moor in Cornwall - not exactly a honeymoon destination. As suddenly as she flew them here, Laura reveals she had spent a year here in boarding school when she was younger.

Waiting for them as they land is Mrs. Hatfield, her former theater teacher. Reggie is stumped by this change of plans, but allows Laura to lead him to their lodging. It seems Mrs. Hatfield had written to Laura about replacing someone in the local theater production of MacBeth.

The next morning, Laura disguises herself and auditions for the role. She learns she is replacing an
actress who died in am accidental fall. Reggie tries to occupy his time without access to his cell phone or internet, wandering around the town.

Reggie continues to wonder how they ended up here and then Laura confesses to reading a letter she found at the Baker Street Chambers addressed to Sherlock Holmes, saying, "Something is terribly wrong in Bodfyn. Please send Scarecrow." Laura knows she is Scarecrow and she wants to discover what is wrong. She sends him out to discover what he can about the dead actress.

Meanwhile back on Baker Street Lois is beside herself because she has not been able to reach Reggie or Laura. Where did they go and have they landed safely? When a strange man named Sig coaxes Lois to join him to search for Laura and Reggie, they head for Bodfyn.

A Baker Street Wedding is fifth in the series about two brothers who rent 221B Baker Street and wind up answering letters delivered to the address and addressed to Sherlock Holmes even to this day. Funny, clever and and fun for fans of Sherlock Holmes.
