The Affair of the Mysterious Letter is by Alexis Hall. One of the strangest fantasy novels I have ever read. This is a bizarre re-working of the Sherlock Holmes tales. The sorceress Shaharazad Haas takes a new roommate named Captain John Wyndham, fresh back from the wars. When an old "friend" of Shaharazad's arrives and informs the sorceress that she is being blackmailed, the game is afoot. A very strange mix of gender-bending fantasy and Sherlockian lore.
Ratings: 11th grade - 7 out of 10 - AC (some mature thematic content).
