Irene Adler #4
Another Scandal in Bohemia
American diva Irene Adler, introduced in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s story, “A Scandal in Bohemia� as the only woman to outwit Sherlock Holmes, returns for a rematch, not only with Holmes, but with Bohemia. The murder of a humble bead-girl at the Paris couturier House of Worth spirals into an international plot to reshape the map of Europe. Irene, drawn into the plight of Queen Clotilde, her successor in the King’s affections, finds much rotten in the state of Bohemia. As Irene and her dashing barrister husband, Godfrey Norton, and everyone’s favorite Victorian spinster, Nell Huxleigh, careen from Paris salons to Prague castles and graveyards, Holmes is just behind with an agenda of his own. Before the adventure ends, thrones will tremble, the mystical clay monster of Prague called the Golem will walk, and Irene will confront her deadliest opponent.

From Cat in an Alphabet Soup #1 to Cat in an Alphabet Endgame #28.
Delilah Street, PI (Paranormal Investigator), headlines Carole's noir Urban Fantasy series: Dancing With Werewolves, Brimstone Kiss, Vampire Sunrise, Silver Zombie, and Virtual Virgin. Now Delilah has moved from her paranormal Vegas to Midnight Louie, feline PI's "Slightly surreal" Vegas to solve crimes in the first book of the new Cafe Noir series, Absinthe Without Leave. Next in 2020, Brandi Alexander on the Rocks.
Once Upon a Midnight Noir is out in eBook and trade paperback versions. This author-designed and illustrated collection of three mystery stories with a paranormal twist and a touch of romance features two award-winning stories featuring Midnight Louie, feline PI and Delilah Street, Paranormal Investigator in a supernatural-run Las Vegas. A third story completes the last unfinished story fragment of Edgar Allan Poe, as a Midnight Louie Past Life adventure set in 1790 Norland on a isolated island lighthouse. Louie is a soldier of fortune, a la Puss in Boots.
Next out are Midnight Louie's Cat in an Alphabet Endgame in hardcover, trade paperback and eBook Aug. 23, 2016.
All the Irene Adler novels, the first to feature a woman from the Sherlock Holmes Canon as a crime solver, are now available in eBook.
Carole was a college theater and English literature major. She was accepted for grad school in Theater at the University of Minnesota and Northwestern University, and could have worked as an editorial assistant at Vogue magazine (a la The Devil Wears Prada) but wanted a job closer to home. She worked as a newspaper reporter and then editor in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. During her time there, she discovered a long, expensive classified advertisement offering a black cat named Midnight Louey to the "right" home for one dollar and wrote a feature story on the plucky survival artist, putting it into the cat's point of view. The cat found a country home, but its name was revived for her feline PI mystery series many years later. Some of the Midnight Louie series entries include the dedication "For the real and original Midnight Louie. Nine lives were not enough." Midnight Louie has now had 32 novelistic lives and features in several short stories as well.
Hollywood and Broadway director, playwright, screenwriter and novelist Garson Kanin took Carole's first novel to his publisher on the basis of an interview/article she'd done with him five years earlier. "My friend Phil Silvers," he wrote, "would say he'd never won an interview yet, but he had never had the luck of you."
Carole is a "literary chameleon" who's had novels published in many genres, and often mixes such genre elements as mystery and suspense, fantasy and science fiction, romance with mainstream issues, especially the roles of women.

May 11, 2012Oops! Accidentally put one of my own books here, so I might as well comment. This is the fourth Irene Adler novel and is a "sequel," in a way, to "Good Night, Mr. Holmes," the first novel, which retold "A Scandal in Bohemia" from Irene Adler's point of view . . . and did so much more. If you enjoy the latest film version of Holmes by Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch, you'll find my version/vision of Irene Adler most interesting.

About the first 200 pages of this are very unexciting and focus on fashion in 19th century Paris, where Irene Adler and Ms. Huxleigh are investigating the murders of sewing women for the famous dressmaker Worth. The latter part of the book becomes much more colorful and exciting, when they
go to Bohemia to represent Rothschild interests and the alleged reappearance of the Golem of Prague. This part is much more interesting and culminates in a quite dramatic duel scene. Overall, I felt as if the author had cobbled together two very different books, and I think the Bohemian
portion should have been done as a stand-alone much shorter novel. I would rate the first part 1 star, the latter part 4, but compromised on 3 overall.

"Irene, you are tediously curious," I warned her again."
"Better than being curiously tedious," she retorted.

While I loved the first novel in the series, I think this is my favorite, so far. (I'm reading the series chronologically.) To me, Douglas' writing has evolved, and I appreciate her vivid descriptions sprinkled with alliterative phrases. I'm also enjoying the blossoming of Penelope's character, along with her wry wit and humor. The plot is intriguing and delightful, with a very satisfying resolution.
Some favorite passages:
"... her crimson and gold Liberty silk gown flamed like an illustration from a medieval book on a dirty page." (page 21)
"The partially attired doll who would wear my stitchery stood before me, her pale, placid face cocked, her plump, painted cheeks and tiny features wearing an expression that blended pert expectancy with a waxen deathlike calm." page 134
"... I enjoyed pointing out the sights to Godfrey - particularly the commendably upright telegraph poles alongside the railway (in France, the same poles lurch like drunken toothpicks) ...." (page 154)
"A blast of overheated, intoxicated air perfumed my face like a drunkard's breath." (page 170)
"The cool, close air of a crypt hushed into my face." (page 337)
"Nothing makes one more protective of one's possessions than the knowledge of another's obsession with them." (page 347)
"A heavy fog haunted the park, weaving among the trees. The grass was still emerald-green, glossy with dew and damp, yet the sere gold of fallen leaves lay upon it like a blight." (page 426)

Carole Nelson Douglas wrote 8 books in a series based on a minor character from the first Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle, "A Scandal in Bohemia." This story contains the most memorable female character in Doyles Holmes' stories, Irene Adler, who outsmarts the famous detective and wins his admiration.
Irene's Last Waltz (later reissued as Another Scandal in Bohemia) is the fourth novel in Douglas' series featuring Irene Adler as a singer/actor who is also an amateur detective. Like Sherlock Holmes, Irene has a sidekick named Penelope Huxleigh who accompanies her and keeps a detailed journal of events. While Irene is very flamboyant and daring, Penelope is conservative and proper. It is from Penelope's long lost journals, supposedly discovered by a 20th century scholar Fiona Witherspoon, that the books of the series are drawn.
This book finds Irene and Penelope, as well as Irene's new husband Godfrey, returning to Bohemia at the request of the Rothschilds banking family to work undercover to get information on the political situation. Intrigue builds on intrigue as the threesome find themselves entangled in web of danger that is both entertaining and compelling reading.
Irene's Last Waltz and the entire series will amuse fans of books based on the Sherlock Holmes series who enjoy the introduction of a feminine and feminist point of view.

Did not finish this one. It took me four months to get through the first 200 pages where nothing much happens but Irene enthusing about fashion. There is a murder but it is insignificant. Irene looses interest as soon as the now Queen of Bohemia ask for her help in a matter of whatever (I forgot). Then she drops everything to rush to Bohemia where the King might still take revenge upon her for not being his mistress anymore.
Irene is depicted as such a superficial and hollow-brained woman that I wondered who she was. Hard to believe that the narrator of the story is even dumber and doesn't even notice what is going on most of the time. When it took this narrator two complete pages to get to the point which could have been explained in one or two sentences, I gave up.
I liked the first book in this series but it all went downhill from there. I won't read any further books in this series.

Really like this series and the way it's connected to Sherlock Holmes. Fun historical details. Nell, Irene, and Godfrey make a fun trio to follow in any mystery. Yes, I think it was too early to revisit Bohemia and characters from the first novel, but this is another good novel, so I got over my misgivings. Will gladly continue to read the series.

This book had a bit too much schmaltz in the story. The story was interesting but I can't go into much detail about what I liked and didn't like without a spoiler alert for those who might not have read it yet. It wasn't my favorite of this series.
May 2, 2021
Another triumlh!
As seamless as all her Sherlockian novels, this mystery has even more of Sherlock's & Watson's presence woven throughout. And what a horrifically evil opponent! I dread meeting her in future!

Very enjoyable story. but I could see the conclusion on this one very early in yhe book.

A delightfully crafted and entertaining historical mystery series; if you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, it is a must read. Originally titled “Irene's Last Waltz,� the book has been re-released as “Another Scandal in Bohemia;� it is the 4th in a series of clever mysteries by Carole Nelson Douglas. The protagonist of the series is Irene Adler, who was given birth by Arthur Conan Doyle in his short story, “A Scandal in Bohemia.� In her series, Douglas breathes life into the character of Irene and develops her character into a very intelligent, independent Victorian woman who also dabbles as an investigating detective. How interesting and enjoyable it is to see Adler developed into an even more dynamic, complex character; here the creative mind of Douglas gives us a deeper look at Irene Adler, who was one of the few people and the only woman to thwart Sherlock Holmes. The narrator is Penelope Huxleigh (Adler's Dr. Watson), who was raised as a country parson's daughter. The pairing of these two dissimilar characters, the ultra-respectable, country parson's daughter Penelope with the Bohemian Irene, the "do as I want to do," convention breaking, smoking and drinking American singer, provides for delightful situations and an evolving friendship which moves from book to book. However, although Penelope’s character does change, she does remain a delightful and at times frustrating foil to the shrewd Irene.
Douglas cleverly picks elements from Doyle’s stories and develops them into her own web of mystery. In “Irene's Last Waltz� (aka: “Another Scandal in Bohemia�), the story begins in Paris and with the murders of two seamstresses. The mystery then takes Irene back to Prague, the city of the first “Scandal in Bohemia,� to deal with the royal family and once again face the King of Bohemia. To add a supernatural twist to the story, the legendary Golem is once again walking the streets of this ancient city. Along the way, Irene and company become involved with the historic personages of Charles Worth, Baron Rothschild, and of course, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
I do get confused when some reviewers keep calling this a short story; in reality, “Irene's Last Waltz� (aka: “Another Scandal in Bohemia�) is one of Douglas� longest novels at 480 pages in the hardcover version. Douglas' Irene Adler series are clever and enjoyable; the characterization is exceptional. Here Douglas has not just attempted to re-tell or recreate the character of Holmes; rather, she has carefully developed Adler and others from Doyle’s works and made them her own. Her characterizations are first rate, and her plots are cleverly crafted. The introduction of the Golem myth into this story added another mysterious twist. I really like this series, and I strongly recommend them to any fan of Holmes or of Victorian mysteries.

I found this book to be interesting because Irene Adler the main prtagonist of this novel went to Bohemian to solve a mystery presented by the queen of Bohemia. This novel is based upon the story line of the original case story known as A Scandal In Bohemia. However, Sherlock Holmes himself seem to be involve in this affair. Irene Adler, Nell, and Godfrey went to Bohemia in disguise and met the king of Bohemia. To surprise the king doesn't actually realized who Irene was even though theking tried to court Irene.
As Irene, Godfrey and Nell; including a friend of Nell- they discover a under chamber where the famoud pope died. There was a myth that the pope created a "Golem" a clay formation of a creature that abides by the pope's commands. Irene discovered that there was no so thing as a "Golem" and that it was Tayana, a vile woman who ruled through a fake king that was simliar to the king of Bohemia. However, Tayana seemed to hate Irene for foiling her plans and in the end Sherlock Holmes, the famous consulting detective came to prevent such incident from happening and was able to take hold of the fake king. The real king is back in his rightful place all thanks to Irene.
I believe that Irene's skills as a detective is quite amazing. Being able to see a women solve crimes changes how people view women. Women are capable in doing things that men can do also. To Holmes, he seem to be taken back a bit of Irene's power and seem to be proud of that.

January 9, 2012A Scandal in Bohemia is somewhat of a good short story.The book was interesting to me at some parts, mostly when there was action going on.I liked the way that the author put the sentence structure together it got me to actually understand what was going on as if i was actually in the book.Throughout the story there is a lady named Irene Adler who is classified as a "Femme Fatal"A Femme Fatal is a lady who makes it seem as if she is helpless, when really she has more power then you think.A Femme Fatal ALWAYS deceives you when the time is right, that is their overrall purpose.In this particuliar short Sherlock story there is no murder involved, instead there is only blackmailing that is going on.One thing that I didnt really like about this story was that Sherlock was outsmarted by Irene Adler, I thought that Sherlock was the smartest and that could never happen but unfortunatley it did and she got away with her crime.

Wild & wooly, and at this point, SH is immaterial, a compliment. Irene is now a fully-formed character, & so much more satisfying than the petty criminals & sexual tramps that the menfolk make her into. I include Moffat & co. of Sherlock BBC, who have completely screwed up The Adler. She make you nervous, guys?
This series is much more like Laurie King's right now. The characters are taking off on their own & having some pretty amazing adventures.
Enjoying the hell out of this, and, for those who quibble regarding length of book & emphasis on costume, well, this isn't like the original short story; it is a novel, and, about a Victorian woman of a certain class, who defined themselves at least partly by their clothing styles (as did the men too, please note Conan Doyle's details).
Just because modern male authors are too lazy & unimaginative to note details of dress, well, it's been important to humans for much of their history, so I ignore those comments.

This short story by Doyle was, for this reader, a nice quick trip into turn of the century London. The intrepid Holmes is bested by Adler, which for some may cause anxiety, and for others relief. What I like most is trying to be clever like Holmes is, failing, then watching as Holmes effortlessly and somewhat rudely explains the obvious way in which he came to his conclusions. After the fact, and with explanation, his reasoning is flawless, which is why I enjoy reading these stories because I get to root for a "hero", even though Irene Adler, a femme fatal, gets away in the end. I will look forward to reading about the seemingly innocent struggle between Holmes and Adler in the future. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys mysteries, femme fatales, or who might simply need to kill a half hour.

This book had a good deal more foreshadowing than storytelling in comparison with the other three. I really enjoyed most of it, especially reading Nell with her old charge Allegra around. It was really a rounding book for Nell; it might be fun to compare her character now with the way it was when we started reading. The book turned out to be quite a fulfilling read, although it didn't seem so until pretty late. Perhaps that is simply common of Douglas's writing? I'd have given this book 3 and 1/2 stars, but I couldn't, so I rounded up. On to the next one! (When I get my hands on it.)

Despite the fact that it takes a long time for the plot to unwind, I enjoyed this take off on the Sherlock Holmes stories. Irene, the only woman who defeated Sherlock Holmes, is now Mrs. Godfrey Norton. She and her long-suffering friend Penelope Huxleigh take on a mystery involving the King of Bohemia and the story is set in Prague. There was a sub-plot early on that seemed to be abandoned, but was tied up on the last chapter of the book. As the story line was so long, the ending seemed a bit rushed, but I enjoyed the journey.
December 20, 2011
Though this book wasn't as good as some of the earlier books in the series I thought that it had an interesting development in the way that the simple murder of a beading girl at a fashion house served to send Irene and Co. on a James Bond esqu adventure into international politics.
The problem is that to get to the fun spy parts you must read through about a third of the book which consists mostly of Irene tell Nell everything about late 19th century fashions. How dull.

I can't think of any better complement than the connection of this series to the ever glorious SH has become entirely moot, for me, at this point.
Irene operates in her own world, and the occasional cameo from SH, is, IMHO, actually immaterial at this point.
And what a glorious adventure this one is. From the House of Worth to continental monarchs true and faux, to Golem himself, this one is a humdinger.
Very tasty.

Another enjoyable addition to the Holmes genre. Through the eyes of Miss Huxliegh, we observe Irene Adler, the famous woman who outsmarted Sherlock Holmes in "Scandal in Bohemia", as she finds herself mired in another mystery in Bohemia.
November 24, 2015
I enjoyed the characters, and their world and hope I get the chance to read the story again and/or to read more within the series.
My Rating System:
* couldn't finish, ** wouldn't recommend, *** would recommend, **** would read again, have read again.
