Charlotte Holmes, Lady Sherlock, returns in the Victorian-set mystery series from the USA Today bestselling author of A Conspiracy in Belgravia and A Study in Scarlet Women, an NPR Best Book of 2016.
Under the cover of "Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective," Charlotte Holmes puts her extraordinary powers of deduction to good use. Aided by the capable Mrs. Watson, Charlotte draws those in need to her and makes it her business to know what other people don't.
Moriarty's shadow looms large. First, Charlotte's half brother disappears. Then, Lady Ingram, the estranged wife of Charlotte's close friend Lord Ingram, turns up dead on his estate. And all signs point to Lord Ingram as the murderer.
With Scotland Yard closing in, Charlotte goes under disguise to seek out the truth. But uncovering the truth could mean getting too close to Lord Ingram—and a number of malevolent forces…
My Review:
Oh, man, another amazing book in this series! It's tied pretty close to the plot of the 2nd book, given that Lady Ingram is the victim and all, and Lord Ingram is the main suspect given the events of the previous book. Yeah.
Time and time again Charlotte proves her smarts, and is so very clever! There was some play with the timeline which played with my head, but then it all made sense and was just so fantastic! I'm surprised that I'm still shocked, I mean, I know to expect that nothing is as it seems, but it still got me!
Besides the mystery, there were personal things that were developed. Like Charlotte and Lord Ingram's relationship. Yeah, I totally didn't expect that, and I need to have more! Or the Inspector's views about women working, women like his wife. That was a great development!
That ending! Oh, that ending! It was a shock, and I can't wait to see how things are going to play out, because from what we've learned in previous books, there's a reason why that happened, and that puts them all in a tricky place! I can't wait to learn more!
Loved reading this book, it was so amazing and clever, and I can't wait to read more!
