Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews
Lestrade And The Gift Of The Prince ($19.95; Jan.; 208 pp.; 0-89526-523-3) No sooner is Prince Albert in his grave (courtesy of a slyly amusing prologue that casts his royal widow's friendship with John Brown in an interesting new light) than murder strikes Victoria's household when servant girl Amy Macpherson is killed at Balmoral Castle. In this ninth of his sixteen appearances, Sherlock Holmes's old adversary, Supt. Sholto Lestrade, presides over the politically delicate investigationand a dozen indelicate jokes about what a Scotsman wears under his kilt. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful mystery, April 26, 2000
By Sharon Galligar Chance (Wichita Falls, Texas) - See all my reviews
Murder is afoot among the footmen of the Royal Household. When one of the serving girls in the royal household is found murdered, the investigation of her death thrusts Sholto Lestrade into the hunt for a killer. Disguised as a schoolmaster, he follows a killer's path from castles to curbside. Traveling across England, Lestrade's investigation takes him from Balmoral Castle to Glamis Castle to the North British Hotel where he once again barely escapes death.

On his official ninth case in "Lestrade And The Gift of the Prince," mystery writer MJ. Trow presents his hero, Inspector Sholto Lestrade, as being hungry for respect. Having lived in the fictional shadows of ace detective Sherlock Holmes for decades, our man Lestrade rises to become an intelligent protagonist while Holmes is portrayed as a bumbling, inept fool.

M.J. Trow's Lestrade series are packed with sharp historical detail, delightful humor, and witty word-play. Sure to raise a few eyebrows, Fans of Sherlock Holmes might balk at the fun poked at their man, but Baker Street Irregulars who have kept a sense of humor will relish this story.
