from decription: 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.
And off we go in another adventure with Charlotte Holmes, Lord Ingram, Mrs. Watson, Livia, and other familiar characters.
It is unusual that a prospective client has an interview with Charlotte, and then decides not to engage the services of Sherlock Holmes, but the beautiful Indian woman who requested the interview doesn't believe "Sherlock Holmes" is suitable for the job she requires.
It turns out, however, that Mrs. Watson is an old friend of the mysterious woman, so Charlotte and friends end up in France in a dangerous escapade that turns out to be more than they bargained for.
The plot is concluded, but a twist at the end sets up the next installment. This is the 4th book in the series, and if you are looking for a good binge, start with the first one A Study in Scarlet Women.

I am so looking forward to this one. I love this series!
ReplyDeleteI do, too! Charlotte is quite the character!
DeleteAnother new series to look into! :)
ReplyDeleteYou'd like it, Melody; it is a fun take-off on Sherlock!
DeleteThese sound like an interest twist on the whole Sherlock Holmes bunch of characters. I'll have to take a look.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte is brilliant, on the plump side, and on the autism spectrum. A ruined reputation was the best thing for this female detective. :)
DeleteI have this series on my list just as soon as I finish with the Louise Penny books!
ReplyDeleteI need to catch up with Three Pines--I'm at least two books behind!
DeleteI can't believe she's already reached #4 in this series. Where does the time go?
ReplyDelete:) She's been putting them out pretty quickly!
DeleteEXACTLY what Lark said above was going through my head as I read your review. WTH. Time just goes by!
ReplyDeleteShe started in 2016 with this series, but it doesn't feel like that long ago. :)
DeleteThe games afoot! This sounds like a very fun, satisfying series with a feminist slant. :D
ReplyDeleteThe books are fun and clever and yes, with a definite feminist slant!
DeleteMaybe I should plan a binge . . . You make it sound so tempting. And I do have the first book on my TBR pile, I'm pretty sure.
ReplyDeleteIt would make a great binge, Wendy! And I know you have liked the Jennifer Ashley's Below Stairs series. :)
DeleteThis is another series I'm sure I will love because of the time period but I can't keep up! Glad to hear it's a solid series that keeps you coming back for more!
ReplyDeleteThe Lady Sherlock series isclever and witty series with smart, capable women--always a good thing!
