The Sinister Mystery of the Mesmerizing Girl by Theodora Goss

The Sinister Mystery of the Mesmerizing Girl (The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club, #3)Sherlock Holmes is missing and Moriarty has formed a new group of super villains. It is a group that has kidnapped Alice, the maid, and she finds herself down the rabbit hole. It is up to the other women (girls?) of the Athena Club to help her figure out what is going on.
Bringing in another character to a series that already has many can be good or bad. I don't know that it was well executed in this book. There were a LOT of people that had to be brought back and then that many more people breaking into the story and that many more lines to include. It was a good story with a good ending but slow build with so many people to sort of shoehorn in. 

Three stars
This book came out October 1st
