But I did read the Irene books up and including the one where she gets back to Bohemia. Haven't been able to find any later ones, which I was sorry for, since I liked them. IMO, C.N. Douglas avoids the trap Laurie King fell into with "The Beekeepers Apprentice" - Mary Sue'ing her heroine. Also, her Geoffrey (and your essay is perfect) is the decent guy in canon Irene is in love with. Mutual appreciation between her and Holmes notwithstanding.
