Week 9 Review: A Tempest at Sea

From Goodreads:

Charlotte Holmes's brilliant mind and deductive skills are pulled into a dangerous investigation at sea in the new mystery in the bestselling Lady Sherlock series.

After feigning her own death in Cornwall to escape from Moriarty's perilous attention, Charlotte Holmes goes into hiding. But then she receives a tempting offer: Find a dossier the crown is desperately seeking to recover, and she might be able to go back to a normal life.

Her search leads her aboard the RMS Provence, sailing from Southampton for the eastern hemisphere. But on the night Charlotte makes her move to retrieve the dossier, in the midst of a terrifying storm in the Bay of Biscay, a brutal murder also takes place on the ship.

Instead of solving the crime, as she is accustomed to doing, Charlotte must take care not to be embroiled in this investigation, lest it become known to those who harbor ill intentions that Sherlock Holmes is abroad and still very much alive.

My Review:
This was another fantastic book in this series! After the events of the last one, with Charlotte faking her death, well, the priority was finding a way to be able to come back. And this task given to her, once completed, gets her that. It was such a great story!

The fact that Charlotte is pretending to be someone else, and can't inject herself in the investigation, it's an interesting situation. That Lord Ingram takes himself to the task, that was really great, though that put him in close proximity to the inspector. 

Oh, but the reveal of who the bad guy was? I mean, they were on a ship and there were limited suspects, and the way the story was told played around with time. It was still shocking! It came together so well, and I couldn't put it down! 

I loved all the developments in this book, with their fight against Moriarty. There was one small but really important development, which I can't wait to see how it's going to play out! And I love where we left Livia, and what's in store for her future! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait for more!
