And then there's the rather proud and aloof gentleman who is Lady Catherine's nephew. His arrogance and selfish disdain for the feelings of others immediately build in Lizzie an immovable dislike.

And can Mr. Holmes and Elizabeth untangle this web before it ensnares them both?The Adventure of the King's PortraitAs Holmes struggles to learn more about this mysterious Moriarty, Elizabeth worries that the man might not really exist at all, and that even if he does, he will only drive her friend into obsession and endless frustration. But help could come from unexpected sources, including possibly their latest client, the King of Bohemia.With a few possible scandals already hidden away, the king needs the assistance of Holmes and Bennet to deal with one last possible scandal before his impending political marriage. He once carried on a dalliance with a famous opera singer known as Irene Adler and now needs the help of the detectives to retrieve an incriminating photo from her. Holmes is happy to take the case, both because it intrigues him and because the king can give him information on Moriarty. But Elizabeth is less sure--this Adler seems cleverer than Holmes is preparing for. Could it be that Holmes is about to meet his intellectual match and, for the first time, find himself on the losing end of the case?BONUS CONTENT: - 2 Mindfulness coloring pages- Elizabeth Bennet - A Journey through Pride and Prejudice- Sherlock Holmes - A Genius Fictional Detective
