When Moira Keegan tries to recruit Sherlock Holmes to save her father's life, Holmes, Watson and Mrs. Hudson do their best to convince the 12-year old that she has misunderstood her father's situation. When, a short time later, they read that Moira's father was found dead in a sleazy waterfront inn, the members of London's premier consulting detective agency have a new client and a singular purpose. In this, the second in the Mrs. Hudson of Baker Street series, the part-time housekeeper and full-time sage of 221B will lead her colleagues in a quest for justice that will put them at odds with Scotland Yard, Irish revolutionaries, religious zealots, and even the London Times. Before Mrs. Hudson can bring everything to right she will need to enlist the assistance of Charles Stewart Parnell, the leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, and his mistress Katharine O'Shea.

Review:

''Brown ... introduced his lady sleuth last year in The Unpleasantness at Parkerton Manor. Now, he follows up with Mrs. Hudson and the Irish Invincibles, which may be even more fun than his first novel.... One can't wait for a third volume in this series ...'' --Ben Steelman, Wilmington Star-News, July 10, 2011

''Mrs. Hudson and the Irish Invincibles, by Barry S. Brown, is the second book in his ''Mrs. Hudson of Baker Street'' series; as in the first book The Unpleasantness at Parkerton Manor, Mrs. Hudson does the real detecting, with assistance from Holmes and Watson, this time in a case involving Irish revolutionaries and imaginative plotting.'' --Peter E. Blau, Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press, July 2011 #6

''Holmes fans will enoy this latest puzzle helmed by Mrs. Hudson ... Holmes, Dr. Watson and Mrs. Hudson would be delightful no matter what case they had chosen to investigate, yet it's all the more fun when you mix Wiggins and Inspector Lestrade into the case ... I look forward to more adventures with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson under the guiding hand of Mrs. Hudson.'' --Cherie Jung, Over My Dead Body! Mystery Magazine, August 10, 2011
