Description
London, 1932. Harriet White's career at the Baker Street building society takes an unexpected turn when she's demoted to a new position. Her new role involves working through a mountain of correspondence addressed to the famous resident of 221B Baker Street. Despite the fact that Sherlock Holmes doesn't exist, Harriet diligently replies to each writer, explaining that Mr Holmes has retired from detective work and now lives in Sussex, keeping bees. However, one letter catches her eye. It's from a village around five miles from her family estate, about a young woman who went to London to work as a domestic, then disappeared in strange circumstances. Intrigued, Harriet decides to take matters into her own hands and opens the case of the missing maid. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Harriet must navigate the complexities of the past and confront the reality of her own life. With each new discovery, she draws closer to the truth, but also risks uncovering secrets that were meant to remain hidden.
