The second book signing was standing room only a week later on October 26th for Bonnie McBird's second in her Sherlock Holmes series, Unquiet Spirits which after only 2 weeks on the bookshelves is in its second printing in the US!

"Unquiet Spirits is one of the best I've read in my four decades of reading - and writing about - pastiches, and I can't wait for Devil's Due; I hope that [Bonnie MacBird] writes as many more Holmes novels as as [she] wants to. - Lenny Picker, Publisher's Weekly.
"What MacBird has done best, which is what makes her take on the series work, is that she understands the narrative. John Watson is telling the story and he's telling it like he's always done. MacBird could possibly be Conan Doyle reincarnated..." - Crime Squad
New Book Signing

published by Amberley Books
at Oscar Wilde NYC pub
45 West 27th Street, New York, NY 10001
Tomorrow!!
Saturday, November 4th 2:00pm-4:00pm
Years after Oscar Wilde's death, two of his closest friends, Lord Alfred Douglas and his literary executor Robert Ross, both former lovers, engaged in a bitter battle over Wilde's legacy and who was to blame for his downfall and early death.
Oscar's Ghost is the first book to focus on the heated feud and to assess the motivations, misconceptions, and actions of all parties involved.
"This was an intriguing exploration of the unedifying after-life of Wilde's legacy, focusing on the litigious conflict between his former lovers Robert Ross and Lord Alfred Douglas." - Sarah Maguire, Goodreads
