Author Introduction
Lauren Wilkinson earned an MFA in Fiction and Literary Translation from Columbia University, and has taught writing at Columbia and the Fashion Institute of Technology.

American Spy is her first novel.
Blurb
A classic Holmesian detective untangles a locked-room mystery with a very modern twist in this venomously diverting short story by Lauren Wilkinson, the Washington Post bestselling author of American Spy.
A top-secret experiment at a restricted virtual-reality compound pulls attorney Tommy Diaz back into the orbit of Irene Adler, an old friend with an eidetic memory, a love of true-crime podcasts, and a knack for solving the unsolvable. But this? At a remote warehouse, a VR trial goes awry when a willing test subject, alone in the observation room, drops dead of anaphylaxis—from the sting of a virtual bee. Though the tech titan behind the research believes in the power of the outrageous, Irene relies on clues, hard facts, and a level head. However, in a case this peculiar, how elementary can it be?
My Opinion
A closed room mystery with an interesting plot. The plot has a mysterious tone, although, it is a short story. Still, the author has done a good job. The story has everything to turn itself into a full book of 200- 300 pages. The most fascinating are the characters like Irene Adler and Martin Krall. I really enjoyed the story. Hope to read more from the author.
I would like to give 4 stars to the story. Thanks Lauren Wilkinson for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
