OK, I'm a sucker for Sherlock Holmes pastiches (not to mention the real thing),and this one is really good. I started to say it's one of the best, but then I thought of how much I love the many great ones I have read. But this does rank right up there. So much so that I immediately started reading the "Case of Sabina Hall" and really wish I could spend more time with this book. " the thistle of Scotland" is a rare jewel on which rests the fate of the Mowbray family and especially daughter Lady Caroline Mowbray. But the Thistle disappears in full view(?) of the guests at the wedding breakfast following Lady Caroline's marriage to fortune-hunter Dolph Stanley. How could this happen, only one man in the world can solve this mystery and so Sherlock Holmes is called in. Mystery that can not be solved? Read the book, and enjoy! ( )

[re: SH & Raleigh Legacy] Ms. Greenwood has captured the characters of Holmes and Watson perfectly.
L. B. Greenwood is a schoolteacher, living and working in Canada. She is also the author of two other Holmesian pastiches, The Case of Sabina Hall and The Thistle of Scotland. Hopefully Ms. Greenwood will give up her teaching profession and devote her life to a far more worthy profession, namely the writing of Holmesian Pastiches.
