I did get a sense of recognition when I started to read A Baker Street Wedding. Not that I had read any of the previous five books in this series. It's rather I think I've seen the first book in the library, read the blurb, but never borrowed it. Now, I want to hit myself in the head for not doing so because this book was hilarious.
Reading the latest book in a series, without having read the previous books mean that you can feel pretty lost. However, I quickly found my footing when it came to this book and the more I read the more I felt at home. Also, I really felt that I need to read the previous books.
Lawyers Reggie Heath and his brother Nigel are the ones responsible for answering the Sherlock Holmes letters that are sent to Baker Street. That's part of the deal for them to rent the place. In this book, the letter part gets a bit sidelined when Reggie's wedding to Laura turns into a dramatic paparazzi stunt. Nigel meanwhile has flown to LA to try to save his relationship. At the office is secretary Lois at a loss of what to do when a strange man shows up and starts to investigate where Reggie and Laura have gone.
I really enjoyed reading this book and I'm thrilled to have found the two first one available to listen to. I recommend this book to Sherlock Holmes fans!
I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review!

Barrister Reggie Heath and actress Laura Rankin have finally tied the knot. When the paparazzi crash their wedding, they make a hasty exit and change their honeymoon destination. Laura find them the one rental in a quiet village on a remote part of the British coast. Only after they land does Reggie find out about Laura’s past in the village, but he doesn’t realize she has another reason for visiting now. Something is going on in what appears to be a quiet village. Will they figure things out before it is too late?
Those familiar with this series know about the fun premise, the letters that people send to Sherlock Holmes get Reggie involved in mysteries. That’s true here again, although how that comes together I will leave for you to discover. I did feel the beginning was a little slow. Yes, it was set up, but it still could have moved faster. I was certainly enjoying it, but about half way through it kicked into high gear and then I was really hooked. Only a few characters return from earlier books in the series, one of whom I wasn’t excited to see again, but the new characters definitely help pick up the slack and made me care about the outcome. Fans of the series will be happy with this latest entry.

In hindsight, I probably should have unearthed the first book in the series from my TBR pile before reading A Baker Street Wedding. However, I did not. As a result, I feel that I didn’t “get” the characters in this book. They seemed shallowly drawn and the plot a bit too farcical for my tastes. And the introduction of a mysterious Sherlockian character to help solve the mystery was a bit convenient. Clearly, from the ending, this character was someone Important, but his significance wasn’t apparent to me.
Sadly, I think the premise of the series is intriguing but this didn’t seem to be as well executed as I hoped.
Thanks to NetGallery, Minotaur Books and Michael Robertson for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinon.

This was a fun instalment in the series. Lois, Reggie’s legal assistant, plays more of a role in this one, joining forces with a mysterious character :-). As always, I wish there was more Nigel.

I’m a sucker for anything Sherlock Holmes and loved the idea of the current day residents of 221B Baker Street answering the mail addressed to a fictional Holmes. I was a little unsure who the protagonist was in the book (this is the first in the series I have read) and that nagged at me a bit through the book. I really liked the premise though – I would be willing to read another in the series and see if it can bring me in a little further than I came in this installment. The ending left me with just enough of a cliff hanger to intrigue me to come back for more.

For the most part I really enjoyed this book. However I found most of the female characters pretty annoying. Why? Mrs. Hatfield really was very pushy, Laura was basically a pushover but Lois was the only one that I enjoyed. However I think the star was Mr. Siger. I sincerely hope he appears in more of these stories.
I felt like the story didn't completely answer all the questions, but granted my mind has turned somewhat to mush from being in the house for months on end. For instance, what were those knocks in the old school, what happened to Mrs. Hatfield and the bartender and is Nigel ever going to appear in any more stories more than a few paragraphs?
As I said I enjoyed the story for the most part and read it fairly quickly but some of those questions niggled at my mind and I felt the author assumed that the reader knew from what he sort of said. Make sense?

“A Baker Street Wedding” by Michael Robertson is book six in “The Baker Street Letters” series. It is not necessary to have read the previous books to enjoy this one, but readers of the previous books will have a deeper understanding of the quirky characters and a more global understanding of the events. New readers will enjoy the book on a different level and will probably want to pick up the previous books in the series.
“A Baker Street Wedding” begins with a flashback to twenty years previously, and readers find Laura Penobscott at a Halloween party. She had gone as the scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz. She puts an index finger to her temple, and says, “Oh if I only had a brain!” Everyone gets the joke, because everyone knows Laura Penobscott has a brain.
Thanks to the media’s obsession with “human interest” stories, it is widely known that today, letters written to Sherlock Holmes are delivered and read at The Baker Street Chambers. Laura Penobscott, now the famed London actress Laura Rankin, is marrying Reggie Heath, a barrister whom “The Daily Sun called “the balmy barrister of Baker Street.” On a visit to the office, Laura finds a letter, opens it, reads it, copies it, and replaces it without saying a word.
In an effort to avoid the most unscrupulous team of paparazzi in the world, the Laura and Reggie escape after the wedding in a Cessna 150, with the bride piloting and groom in the passenger seat. Upon arriving at a hide-a-way in Bodfyn, Cornwall, Laura’s childhood hometown, they find that the lead actress in the community theater production of Macbeth has had an untimely and deadly accident. The role is perfect for Laura Penobscott Rankin Heath, but questions surround the suspicious death.
The action is dialogue driven with casual conversations bringing characters to life and giving a cozy friendly feel to the small town. Readers get to know everyone well. The story flows at a casual but steady pace, and the setting reflects the everyday activities of the town’s ordinary citizens as well as the not so ordinary.
I have read the previous books in the series, and I enjoy the interesting spin Robertson puts on the folklore surrounding Sherlock Holmes and his famous Baker Street address. I received a copy of “A Baker Street Wedding” from Michael Robertson, St Martin’s Press, and NetGalley. It is a well-written book without gore or carnage, and yet one that keeps readers hooked until the end.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a free e-ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review!
This mystery started off with a lot of promise, but feels very disjointed. You jump from character to character quite quickly, and because it is the first in the series, you don't know anyone. I am going to hopefully read the next book in the series to see if it settles into more of a comfortable routine (like most cozies do). Overall, the setting and the characters work well together, but we just needed more of everything!

I didn't love it, I didn't hate it, my first in this series so maybe more back story would have helped. I kept thinking it was set in the 1940's, not present day, it just seemed so old-fashioned, like an Agatha Christie. This was cotton candy, light and fluffy.

The prologue (love a good prologue!) sets a backstory for the mystery to come – the mystery part a foregone conclusion with a book titled A Baker Street Wedding. Gangly tall Laura Penobscott, with braces to correct the gap in her front teeth and nicknamed Scarecrow, makes a point of dancing with the most embarrassing boy in her class at the Winter Holiday Dance.
Skipping twenty years, author Michael Robertson begins with a death of a young woman on the moor and a wedding characterized by a flight to an undisclosed location to avoid the paparazzi. Discovered by the reporters in spite of all precautions, the couple escapes with a flight on a hidden plane piloted by the bride, none other than Laura Penobscott. Now known by her stage name of Laura Rankin, she flies to a honeymoon in a remote village where she spent a couple of her school years. Her new husband Reggie Heath is bewildered about why she has chosen this location and uneasy about her volunteering to star in the local play at the request of her old theatre teacher.
The mystery lives up to its connection to Baker Street and those who answer letters still arriving there for Sherlock Holmes, has a bit of Agatha Christie quirkiness, and ends on an O. Henry kind of note. Bits from the prologue pop up like chocolate chips in a cookie. I had not read the others in this series of Baker Street mysteries, but had no problem following the plot since it stands alone though I may go back for the rest now that I’ve had a sample. Fans of Sherlock, Agatha, or O. will enjoy this good read.

"A Baker Street Wedding" eBook was published in 2018 and was written by Michael Robertson (https://www.thebakerstreetletters.com). This is the sixth novel in the "The Baker Street Letters" series by Mr. Robertson.
I received an ARC of this novel through https://www.netgalley.com in return for a fair and honest review. I categorize this novel as ‘PG’. The story is set in the contemporary UK. The primary characters are lawyer Reggie Heath and the celebrated actress Laura Rankin.
Rankin and Heath have just gotten married and try to escape the publicity by disappearing to a small town where Rankin once attended school. They are soon drawn into a mystery. Rankin is asked to fill in for a woman in a community play. The woman has accidentally fallen off a cliff and died. Soon though Rankin and Heath begin to question the accidental nature of the death.
There is also an unusual character that shows up with Heath's secretary in the rural town. Is he Sherlock Holmes?
I enjoyed the 5 hours I spent reading this 304-page mystery. This was an OK mystery and I liked the strange character that shows up, though there needs to be more explanation of the character (perhaps that is covered in one of the earlier novels in the series, though Rankin and Heath do not appear to know him). Even though there are five earlier novels in the series, this novel reads well on its own. The cover art is OK but doesn't relate well to the story. I give this novel a 3.8 (rounded up to a 4) out of 5.

When Laura, a celebrated actress, decided to wed Reggie, an attorney made fun by the tabloid press, the owner of one of the worse of the tabloids decided he needed proof that the wedding took place. Before the paparazzi he sent to invade the wedding could get the proof needed, things went terribly wrong — the groom was pushed by one of the reporters and hit the wedding cake which tumbled over like a building in a 9.5 earthquake. Things went downhill from there. The bride and groom escaped the scene with the bride flying a single-engine plane away from the wedding even though she’d not flown a plane in over sixteen years and had no license. The groom was understandably not thrilled with the turn of events, the media mogul still didn’t have the proof he needed that the woman of his dreams was wedded, and the town of Bodfyn has new visitors.
The opening pages of this mystery are more like a keystone kops film with coincidences abounding and no mystery in sight other than why Laura chose to land the plane where she did. But wait there’s more….
This is the fifth book in the series, if you were to pick this book up not knowing it was part of a series, you’d probably enjoy it more than fans of the series do. It’s just quirky enough to be interesting and is well written.

This is the sixth book in this series and the first one I have read. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had read the previous books. Still, it did work as a stand alone and I will go back and catch up with the other five. Having a fondness for both Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes mysteries, I have had this series sitting on my TBR stack for way too long.
Reggie Heath (a lawyer) and his new bride, Laura Rankin (an actress) are newly married and their wedding didn't go as planned. Trying to avoid the paparazzi they end up, thanks to Laura, in a small village in Cornwall where Laura had lived as a young girl. She has agreed to take over a part in Macbeth when the previous actress meets an accidental death...or was it foul play? Soon, Laura goes missing and Reggie enlists the help of Lois, his clerk and Siger. Turns out Laura has secrets buried 20 years in her past.
Even without knowing the backstory I really enjoyed this entry and I will now move the other five books closer to the top of my TBR pile.
My thanks to Minotaur Books and to NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Well done! Laura is a favourite, so it’s great to have her at the centre of a mystery with mainstay, Reggie.
While she and Reggie are creating a diversion for the paparazzi so they can get married in peace, she happens upon a letter from the village where she went to school 20 years ago.
They manage to escape the paps, largely sent by Lord Buxton, and she ends up helping out in the local village play. Reggie latches onto something being amiss after she eventually shows him the letter, but it doesn’t stop a madman from wanting to sacrifice her as part of a ritual related to the cairns in the moors.
When the news reports Laura and Reggie’s plane crashed, it appears they’ve both died. Lois, the clerk at chambers, goes to the village to get to the bottom of this tragedy.
Enter Siger, a brilliant busker who helps Lois solve the crime. Lord Buxton saves Laura and Reggie at the final hour, but now there is surely another instalment coming, soon I hope.
There’s a lot of humour in this book, which I love, to balance out the evil and the way out there plot. Very good indeed.

(3.5 stars) This is the 6th book in the series. Laura and Reggie are about to get married, but have had to set up some contingency plans to deal with the paparazzi. Before leaving, Laura happens upon a letter to Sherlock Holmes that has a personal element with a link to her past. Laura and Reggie escape the paparazzi invasion, and end up flying to a remote village in Cornwall where Laura once went to boarding school. She is asked by her old teacher to take on the leading role in Macbeth as a last minute replacement. The performance is a fundraiser for the closed school and Laura agrees. But all is not what it seems in the village and Laura’s past is about to clash with her present. Lois and the mysterious Siger play a key role in the story as does Lord Buxton. The end leaves some uncertainty to their fates, but overall it was a good finale to the series.

This is a solid entertaining entry in Robertson's Baker Street Letters series. To spice up book 6 (and the series) Robertson introduces a new character that I'll label "a man of mystery," adding a bit of new blood and possible storylines that will keep future novels from falling into a rut of "been there/done that". It was nice to have Lois front and center in the story too. Also added was a backstory for actress and new fiance Laura Rankin, giving her character some depth & personality instead of just being the arm candy that Reggie struggled to catch and keep throughout the first few books. Though I missed Nigel, his flighty, spur of the moment personality is the polar opposite of Reggie's serious barrister behavior.

I love Sherlock Holmes and Yes, I believe he was real, and Dr. Watson was Arthur Conan Coyle. So I am an easy touch when it comes to anything about Sherlock. My puppy is Dr. Watson and my Car is Mrs. Hudson. Get it? I keep wanting to like these books. I think the premise is a good one. I have been to his not-really, rooms on Baker Street. Above a bank, at an incorrect address, they have assembled a very close copy of The Rooms. I have been told that the original house burned down. I digress. I have read two others of this series and thought perhaps I just picked more boring ones. Nope. This is the last one I will read. They are well written but I just think they wander around needlessly. No, no more of this series for me.

Reggie and Laura are on their honeymoon after a wedding filled with oops. It's an isolated place in Cornwall (love Cornwall settings!) but the village is about to put on Macbeth and Laura gets a role! Woohoo! Should be simple enough but then she disappears. Luckily, Siger and Lois are in town as well. What did Laura not tell Reggie? I'd not read any of the books in this series and admit I felt a bit at sea during parts of this. That said, it's a charming book. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. The tout that it's a combo of Sherlock and Agatha Christie is a fair one; I think it comes down more on the Christie side.

I picked this up because I like Sherlock Holmes and I saw on the author bio that he had attended Purdue University as an undergrad, a school for which I have an affinity. I have read none of the other books in this series, so no basis for comparison in terms of whether or not I think the quality of the series is decent or not, but taken solely on its own merits, this book fit the bill for a light mystery read over a weekend. Enough to make me willing to circle back to pick up the 1st book in the series should I get the chance, but I won't go out of my way to seek it out.

The fifth book in this light series. Two brothers occupy a law office in Baker Street. They are responsible for answering letters sent to Sherlock Holmes. They are supposed to use a form letter, but from time to time something interesting happens. In this book, Regis marries Laura but the honeymoon does not go smoothly. There's a mysterious violinist named Sigurson. I like the clever little nods to the ACD canon without ever raising Sherlock. I think you need to have read at least a couple of the earlier ones to get full enjoyment from this one.

I had forgotten I had read #5, which was my first intro to this series. Mostly reads like an entertaining hapless thriller cozy, and I see from my notes on #5 I wasn't disposed to read more in the series. I just happened to pick this #6 up from a display on the library shelves.
Perhaps I should read the first book in the series to find out about the underlying proposition for the series, & the mysterious Sherlock Holmes type of character who so far ensures the current law firm gets to keep its' lease on its Baker Street address.

Even though this is the first book I have read in the series I easily got accustomed to the characters and found the story telling and the mystery very entertaining. I know I didn’t read the first Marple book or Poirot or even the first Holmes mystery first, but once you get into this story you get hooked.
I look forward to reading the other books in series.
Now that I think about, I read Teacher Man before Angela’s Ashes. Why do people get upset when they read stand alone novels in a different order?

A wedding full of mistakes leads to a mystery that take Laura and Reggie on a detour to their honeymoon. When they get to the the town things don't add up and one thing leads to another until they are in serious danger. Only suspicious friends can save them now.
This story kept me on the edge of my seat in a fun sort of way.

I absolutely love this series, and this latest does not disappoint.Quick and fun, we get some background on Reggie's lady love, Laura Rankin, and a new character is introduced. Anyone familiar with the Canon and the theme of this series, certainly alerts to the name Sigerson, and looks forward to seeing more of him.

This is the first book in the series I have read, and initially I was not sure if this was a book for young adults since the writing style, especially dialogs, seems to be simplistic; however, after the first third of the book, the story become complex and the personalities of the two characters developed nicely.

Finally Reggie and Laura are married - now comes the honeymoon and Laura has changed the location. Like the previous books is a fun fast packed read. We also are introduced to a new character - Mr. Siger who plays heavily in the storyline along with Reggie's secretary Lois. I have loved this series and Im disappointed to see that this seems to be the last one.

A nice little series. Laura and Reggie have finally tied the knot. Now they are trying to have a honeymoon with no paparazzi. Good luck with that. While hiding out at Laura's old school they come across a mystery and naturally Reggie can't leave well enough alone. It ends with a bit of a cliff hanger and I certainly hope there will be more letters coming.

More complex than the others in this series but also more suspenseful, not as easy (for me) to solve. Really enjoyed this series, will start on other of Michael Robertson's books/series soon.
Can't say too much about the book without giving parts of the plot away. Like the others, a really good read.

I had to only give this book a 4 star rating because of the ending. I like mine to be much more upbeat and resolved. Seemed like the book also lacked Laura & Reggie's presence for quite a bit of it.
