So in May I also got to visit the SherloCon 2018 in Saarbrücken, Germany, hosted by Deutsche Sherlock Holmes Gesellschaft! What a wonderful experience, especially because most visitors were dressed in Victorian fashion, including my sister and myself. The Victorian dress I'm wearing was tailored by my 77 years old mom. I love it and… Continue reading SherloCon 2018

Bücherrückblick: April 2018 (German entry!)
Wer ein Fan von Inspector Barnaby und Miss Marple ist, wird die Krimi-Kurzgeschichten rund ums beschauliche Cherringham lieben!
