Murder At Maddleskirk Abbey (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
She halted beside it and called Holmes’s name then blew hard on the whistle, its pitch being so high that I could not hear it. But it was Sherlock who responded with two barks; she recognized his voice and ordered him to remain on guard. He barked again in response and I had to admit his voice did not sound very far underground. I recognized the hope in his bark, and so did most of the others. ‘He’s OK, he knows what to do but I’m worried about Holmes. We should have heard something from him. I’m going to try some of the other access holes.’ I motioned to one or two helpers who set off with her, but advised them not to follow. If she was going to try and locate the dog guided only by his sounds, she would need as much silence as possible. And so we all hung back and gathered on the roadside, awaiting the return of Prior Tuck. Most of us felt we should be doing something positive rather than just standing around, but there was nothing anyone could do.
