Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Seven by Val Andrews***Minor Spoilers***Mr Septimus Culthorpe, also known as Brother Prior, is one of seven green robed monks who live in seclusion at Grimstone Priory in Sussex. The Secret Seven are not a religious order, but seven men who are bonded by wishing to live a life away from the eyes and influence of the modern world. Although not completely self sufficient, they do keep sheep, bees, an orchard, a garden, and a pond of carp.Now two of their number have been stricken down in the last twenty days after receiving a letter sealed with red wax. Upon examination of one of the letters, Holmes discovers that the intent of the letter is to induce a reply to a non-existent address. It is through happenstance that Holmes discovers the men were actually killed by cyanide on the back of the stamp provided for the reply letter.Holmes and Watson return to Grimstone Priory with Septimus Culthorpe as temporary members of the Secret Seven. Watson as a Doctor is perfect to replace one of the missing men as Brother Healer. Holmes is to take the other man’s place and keep the Priory bees as Brother Hive. A third Brother, Brother Shepherd received the same letter, but threw it into the fire with no plan to reply.
