Summary
Wodehouse steampunk version of The Hound of the Baskervilles!
"Jeeves and Wooster meet (or run face-first into) Holmes and Watson with a touch of steampunk in the hilarious first full-length Reeves and Worcester tale.... This laugh-out-loud parody works on several levels.... With razor-sharp wit and fast pacing that plays fair with the reader, this is an excellent genre mash-up that fires on all cylinders." (Publishers Weekly)
An escaped cannibal, a family curse...and Reginald Worcester turning up on the doorstep. Could things get any worse for the Baskerville-Smythe family?
As the bodies pile up, only a detective with a rare brain - and Reggie's is so rare it's positively endangered - can even hope to solve the case.
But...there is the small matter that most of the guests aren't who they say they are, the main suspect has cloven feet, and a strange mist hangs over great Grimdark Mire.
Luckily, the young master has Reeves, his automaton valet, and Emmeline, his suffragette fiancée, on hand to assist.
This novel is the fifth Reeves & Worcester Steampunk mystery and is set a few months after The Aunt Paradox. The first four mysteries appear in the collection, What Ho, Automata.

Rambling
This story is a poor mesh of PG Woodhouse, Sherlock Holmes and a cozy murder.
Though well read, the story tends to ramble along with occasional moments of plot. Having a mechanical Man Servant and the main protagonist looking for rather than avoiding love, does not detract from grating juxtapositions.
