"Hidden Fires" is the real story, and also Holmes' professional "origin story."

J. Rubino (jrubino) | 313 comments I just learned the publisher posted that "Hidden Fires" was their best seller for October, even though it wasn't released until the second week. I've been getting good feedback. (Though, GR still hasn't put the book up on the site.)

PS - I see that Goodreads has finally put it up. 11/13

J. Rubino (jrubino) | 313 comments Belated thanks, Barbara. The bad news is that I've gotten few reviews so far - I know it's a busy season. The good news is that they've all been very positive.

A 5 star read, highly recommended.

Barbara | 352 comments Harder and harder for me to find a page turner, so I re-read this over Christmas. Just as good as the first time - even though I knew the ending!
