Charlotte Holmes, Lady Sherlock, is back solving new cases in the Victorian-set mystery series from the USA Today bestselling author of The Hollow of Fear.
As "Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective," Charlotte Holmes has solved murders and found missing individuals. But she has never stolen a priceless artwork—or rather, made away with the secrets hidden behind a much-coveted canvas.
But Mrs. Watson is desperate to help her old friend recover those secrets and Charlotte finds herself involved in a fever-paced scheme to infiltrate a glamorous Yuletide ball where the painting is one handshake away from being sold and the secrets a bare breath from exposure.
Her dear friend Lord Ingram, her sister Livia, Livia's admirer Stephen Marbleton—everyone pitches in to help and everyone has a grand time. But nothing about this adventure is what it seems and disaster is biding time on the grounds of a glittering French chateau, waiting only for Charlotte to make a single mistake...
My Review:
This book was such a fantastic read! I always enjoy reading this series, and that goes without saying by now at this book! Such a great mystery, and it's a bit of a heist book, given that they have to steal something. But it's still a mystery, and I loved it!
There were a few things going on in this book. Obviously, the theft of the secrets behind the painting, that was a big thing. But also personal stuff, like Livia and Stephen, and Charlotte and Lord Ingram. So lots of complicated emotions!
Of course, the heist has a lot of complications. It's the first time that we've left England in the series, and the more drastic change of scenery. And there's a few secrets that they have to uncover. Like what is in the letters that just can't get out? I just had to know!
That ending, oh! I knew that there was going to be some shenanigans, but I didn't know how they'd play out! Such a fantastic ending, and man, it's so evil, too! And in more than one way, so many situations that aren't as they should be! I need the next book, because it can't, won't, end there, at least for the series. It does for the book, bah!
Loved this book so much, and I can't wait for the 5th book! And maybe final, though hopefully not, because I need more of these characters!
