The Game is a Footnote by Vicki Delany - 5 Stars!


Scarlet House, now a historical re-enactment museum, is the oldest building in West London, Massachusetts. When things start moving around on their own, board members suggest that Gemma Doyle, owner of the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, might be able to get to the bottom of it. Gemma doesn’t believe in ghosts, but she agrees to ‘eliminate the impossible’. But when Gemma and Jayne stumble across a dead body on the property, they’re forced to consider an all too physical threat. Will Gemma and Jayne be able to solve the mystery behind the haunted museum, or will they be the next to haunt it?
This was a very enjoyable cozy mystery, and I couldn't put it down. Gemma was a reluctant sleuth in this story, but she was very smart and resourceful. I love how she observes everything and comes up with the answers. I can't wait until the next Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery! Thank you to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
