Week 43 Review: The Last of August

From Goodreads:
In the second brilliant, action-packed book in the Charlotte Holmes trilogy, Jamie and Charlotte are in a chase across Europe to untangle a web of shocking truths about the Holmes and Moriarty families.

Jamie Watson and Charlotte Holmes are looking for a winter break reprieve in Sussex after a fall semester that almost got them killed. But nothing about their time off is proving simple, including Holmes and Watson's growing feelings for each other. When Charlotte's beloved uncle Leander goes missing from the Holmes estate—after being oddly private about his latest assignment in a German art forgery ring—the game is afoot once again, and Charlotte throws herself into a search for answers. 

So begins a dangerous race through the gritty underground scene in Berlin and glittering art houses in Prague, where Holmes and Watson discover that this complicated case might change everything they know about their families, themselves, and each other.

My first review of The Last of August
My Review:
I am so glad that I went back reread this series before continuing on! I loved reading these first 2 books a lot, but I didn't remember a whole lot, so rereading them before reading more of this series was pretty important, and I'm glad that I did!

Spending more time with Jamie and Charlotte was really great, and watching their latest investigation was such a blast, that they're descendents of the original Sherlock and Watson pair, yeah, I love the concept of this series! 

This book is mainly set in Europe, which was interesting to read, the culture and history is just so rich, and having them together, with their feelings, as they investigated, was an absolute delight to read! The mysteries are just so well done, and fitting for their inspiration. 

Oh, but the consequences of what happened in this book? I can't wait to see how that's going to play out, because that was a pretty big event. I'm so very nervous, but I need to know what's going to happen next! I know it'll be hard, but I know it'll be great to read! 

Loved reading this book again and I can't wait to continue on!
