From Kirkus Reviews
Lestrade And The Gift Of The Prince ($19.95; Jan.; 208 pp.; 0-89526-523-3) No sooner is Prince Albert in his grave (courtesy of a slyly amusing prologue that casts his royal widow's friendship with John Brown in an interesting new light) than murder strikes Victoria's household when servant girl Amy Macpherson is killed at Balmoral Castle. In this ninth of his sixteen appearances, Sherlock Holmes's old adversary, Supt. Sholto Lestrade, presides over the politically delicate investigationand a dozen indelicate jokes about what a Scotsman wears under his kilt. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
