The ever-irresistible Irene Adler, her dashing barrister husband, Godfrey Norton, and the indomitable Miss Nell Huxleigh have arrived at last as their French cottage-having survived dastardly plots, Russian spies, pistol-wielding criminals, and the occasional cobra. The happy trio seeks nothing but rest and peace-but Irene has always chafed under idle conditions, and Paris, she says, "is pretty and urbane, but hardly a center of excitement." So when Charles Frederick Worth, the Parisian king of couture, invites Irene to become his "mannequin de ville," to wear the fabulous worth creations to stimulate his trade, Irene leaps at the chance.

But what was a joyous lark soon turns into a journey that can lead to disgrace, dishonor, and death when Irene, Nell, and Godfrey are drawn into a series of events that will compel Irene to the one place that she daren't go and the one man she must not confront-Prague and the King of Bohemia.]]> 480 Carole Nelson Douglas 0765343258 Tfranck12 0 4.14 1994

review:
A 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.

But this year, this friendly and sometimes heated North-South rivalry turns downright hostile when Notre Dame's ties toÌýthe UnionÌýduring the Civil WarÌýare dug up, and two students, brothers and Southern gentlemen, are spurred to defend their honor with a prank nearly 150 years after the fact. While they both admit to being the culprit, only one of them could've actually committed the vandalism. But which one? By stretching one alibi over two people, they may dodge expulsion. But then they become suspects in a seemingly unrelated murder case that the Knights must solve, or else getting thrown out will be the least of the boys' problems.

Bouchercon Lifetime Achievement Award winner Ralph McInerny's Irish Alibi is a great addition to this stellar series, in which the past, no matter how distant, is never forgotten and always poised toÌýrise again.]]> 240 Ralph McInerny 0312364571 Tfranck12 3 to-read

This book is a pretty good one.It catches your attention most of the time throughout the book.When your reading usually something very interesting starts to occur and it makes you want to never put the book down and just keep reading.When I read this book I flew right through it because the chapters are sort of short but the book is still pretty long,but you dont realize this.One thing that i didnt really like about the book was that at times it got very boring becuase nothing interesting was happening.

I recommend this book towards teens becuase it is a great book that unfolds and captured the readers attention.I would also recommend this book towards people who like books with short chapters.People who like drama and some action and also a little love story would be amazed if they found this book cause it contains three of these aspects.]]> 3.27 2007
