The Unpleasantness at Baskerville Hall by Chris Dolley
4.0
A fun twist on P G Wodehouse and Sherlock Holmes. Reggie Worcester is a gentleman detective and his valet and problem solver is Reeves, a most superior automaton. Reggie is quite inane and carries on much of Bertie Wooster's silliness (like Bertie, Reggie has no idea of his limits).
Reggie has a fiancée - neither his family or hers approves. Emmeline is a free-spirited suffragette and believer in causes. in fact, Emmeline's family has sent her to Baskerville Hall in hopes of forging a connection with the Baskerville-Smythes. Reggie assumes the identity of a lost and believed dead cousin of the Baskerville-Smythes in order to spend some time with Emile and be sure he isn't replaced by Henry. He discovers the occupants of the house are involved in making movies using mostly automatons and reanimated people. Then Sir Roger dies within sight of the gate to Grimdark Mire. It's murder and the hunt is on.
