About the book
A young woman has been offered the post of governess at the Copper Beeches and has what seems like a mundane question for Holmes--should she take the job? But why does her employer ask her to cut her hair short and wear a special electric blue dress as part of her job? It is up to Holmes and Watson to find out.
