The Sebastian McCabe – Jeff Cody Mystery Series
Mystery writer, magician,
Sherlockian, and sleuth-at-large (very large) – that’s Sebastian McCabe.
In the popular series of light-hearted
mystery novels launched with No Police Like Holmes, Mac calls on his
knowledge of the Great Detective to solve murders from the small town of Erin,
Ohio, where he lives, to London, England, where he walks in the footsteps of
the Master.
These adventures are shared and
chronicled by Mac’s brother-in-law, Thomas Jefferson Cody, an admiring but by
no means uncritical “Watson.” As communications director for St. Benignus University,
where Mac teaches as a full professor, Jeff is often torn between the demands
of his day job and his loyalty to Sebastian McCabe.
Readers say the large cast of other
continuing characters, including Jeff’s journalist and novelist wife Lynda,
makes each new book feel like a visit home again.
The McCabe-Cody mysteries are
packed with Easter eggs for Sherlockians, but enjoyable to anyone who likes
engaging characters and solid plotting in the manner of such Golden Age Mystery
Greats as Agatha Christie, John Dickson Carr, Rex Stout, and Ellery Queen.
The Girl Meets Sherlock blog called
No Police Like Holmes “a chocolate bar of a novel – delicious,
addictive, and leaves a craving for.”
Best-selling author Bonnie MacBird
summed up the whole series when she wrote, “You’re in the hands of a master of
mystery plotting here.”
