Murder in the Bath is a very good Brit Mystery. It takes place, of course, in the English city of Bath at around the end of the 19th century - beginning of the 20th century. The protaganist is none other then Amelia Watson, second wife of Doctor John Watson, chronicler and friend of Sherlock Holmes. Amelia is asked by an old friend to travel to Bath and help her husband who has been arrested for murder. Amelia is a good detective as she starts to unravel and solve the mystery with only a small assist by her husband, John Watson. You kind of, sort of, guess who the murderer really is but you'll end up reading the whole book just because you could be wrong! Amelia is a good, strong character who holds her own against many tough male characters. A good and enjoyable read.

Crime story with Amelia Watson, second wife of the famous Dr Watson, as the sleuth. Amusing and entertaining but not a very difficult crime to solve. Found annoyance with flaws in the author's historical knowledge and also many printing errors - so many in fact that I checked to see if it was an uncorrected proof - it wasn't!
