Vanishing Girl (The Boy Sherlock Holmes #3)
When a wealthy young girl vanishes as if by magic in Hyde Park, Sherlock is once again driven to prove himself. In a heart-stopping race against time, an innocent boy’s survival depends on Sherlock’s ability to solve the mysterious puzzle of the Vanishing Girl. As complex as the maze that protects the missing girl’s hiding place, this case takes Sherlock racing to the countryside, the coast, and into the lair of a menagerie of exotic, dangerous creatures.
Haunted by memories of his shattered family, goaded by his enemies, driven to heal the fragile relationship between him and the beautiful Irene Doyle, Sherlock makes an almost fatal mistake. In the end, his brilliant powers of deduction and the steadfast eccentric Sigerson Bell save the day. Soon, very soon, the world will come to know him as the master detective of all time.
From the Hardcover edition.
I am really enjoying this series. The writer has done a great job of building the characters, and the suspense, through each story. I get a little frustrated with Sherlock sometimes, he is so damn stubborn, but if you've read (or watched) any Sherlock canon, you'll know that the author has pretty much nailed it. The supporting cast of characters are well written also. I'm excited to continue reading the rest of this series.

Review based on ARC.It is quickly apparent why Peacock's works have won him several awards. Vanishing Girl is the third in a young adult series establishing Sherlock Holmes' detective career and prowess. I had not read the first two when I received this book. Although it would have added a little bit of clarity to the past referenced throughout, it is certainly not necessary to have read the other books before enjoying the third.In Vanishing Girl, Holmes attempts to beat Scotland Yard to theI am really enjoying this series.
