The Alligator's Shed — S. Alden Reilly

Davinia Cole discovers a treasure as a young girl while visiting her Grandmother in Cambridgeshire -- a notebook belonging to Moireach Maitland Hudson who was the former landlady to a very famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. In it Moireach documents the experiments and evidence that her boarder demands that she clean up after each case. She so admired him that she kept every note and bit of evidence that he left behind. The notebook inspires Davinia to pursue studies at Cambridge, become a criminologist and follow in her favorite detective's path. She's well on her way when a discovery in an old garden shed becomes her first case. An old murder re-surfaces and her pursuit of the truth brings her face to face with a ruthless killer that no one suspects.
