Week 44 Reviews: The Case of Jamie, A Question of Holmes

From Goodreads:

The hotly anticipated and explosive third book in the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series.

It's been a year since the shocking death of August Moriarty, and Jamie and Charlotte haven't spoken.

Jamie is going through the motions at Sherringford, trying to finish his senior year without incident, with a nice girlfriend he can't seem to fall for.

Charlotte is on the run, from Lucien Moriarty and from her own mistakes. No one has seen her since that fateful night on the lawn in Sussex—and Charlotte wants it that way. She knows she isn't safe to be around. She knows her Watson can't forgive her.

Holmes and Watson may not be looking to reconcile, but when strange things start happening, it's clear that someone wants the team back together. Someone who has been quietly observing them both. Making plans. Biding their time.

Someone who wants to see one of them suffer and the other one dead.

From Goodreads:

In the explosive conclusion to the  New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series, Holmes and Watson think they're finally in the clear after graduating from Sherringford…but danger awaits in the hallowed halls of Oxford. 

Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson finally have a chance to start over. With all the freedom their pre-college summer program provides and no one on their tail, the only mystery they need to solve, once and for all, is what they are to each other.   

But upon their arrival at Oxford, Charlotte is immediately drawn into a new a series of accidents befell the theater program at Oxford last year, culminating in a young woman going missing on the night of a major performance. The mystery has gone unsolved; the case is cold. And no one—least of all the girl's peculiar, close-knit group of friends—is talking. When Watson and Holmes join the theater program, the "accidents" start anew, giving them no choice but to throw themselves into the case. But as the complicated lines of friendship, love, and loyalty blur, time is running out—and tragedy waits in the wings.

My Review:
These were just so fantastic reads! I really enjoy this series and her writing, and I was really excited to see what this second half of the series would bring, after the events of the first half. And boy, was it a heck of a story! 

After the way The Last of August ended, I had to know what was going to happen afterwards. That Jamie is having strange things happening to him, that someone is trying to get at Charlotte by getting at him, yeah, that was a complication. I really enjoyed how they were brought together, to really talk about it.

I'm glad that this is a 4 book series. The way The Case for Jamie ended was great, but not as satisfying as a series ender could be. And A Question of Holmes gave us more time with these characters, dealing with a new adventure, and I loved it!

The last case of the goings on at this theatre previously, and starting back up when our duo joins it, yeah, it was interesting, since it's the first case that isn't personal. But it was, as always, really well done, and such a blast to read! 

Loved reading these books and I can't wait to read more by Brittany Cavallaro!
