When the city is struck by a trio of unexpected deaths and suspicion falls on her sister and her father, Charlotte is desperate to find the true culprits and clear the family name. She’ll have help from friends new and old—a kind-hearted widow, a police inspector, and a man who has long loved her. But in the end, it will be up to Charlotte, under the assumed name Sherlock Holmes, to challenge society’s expectations and match wits against an unseen mastermind.
WHY I'M WAITING: Before last year, I never really thought I enjoyed historical fiction that much. However, I have discovered when teamed with mystery and thriller aspects, I enjoy it quite a lot. Plus, I loved Deanna Raybourn's "A Curious Beginning" and since the book 2 doesn't come out until forever, I am looking for something to fill the void.
What are you waiting for this week????
I like the idea of a woman as Sherlock Holmes...I have a mixed relationship with historical fiction so I'm not sure if this would be my thing! I'll be interested in seeing what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like Holmes is very popular these days with retellings from Middle Grade (Shelby Holmes) to YA (A Study in Charlotte) to Adult (this one and many more...lol).
ReplyDeleteI sure like a good Shelock Holmes type of story though so this sounds good and I like the author as well. :)
Um okay, I GOTTA read this. This is the first time I've heard of this book and it sounds so amazing. Adding it to my wishlist right away. :D
ReplyDeleteMy WOW!
Sounds like a good story. Hope you enjoy it! Mine this week is from a southern mystery series, Lowcountry Bookclub
ReplyDeleteOh cool, this sounds really good. Not my usual genre, but I'm definitely intrigued:-)
ReplyDeleteI also only recently discovered my love for historical fiction! I'll be adding this one to my To Read list for sure because I love most anything that has to do with Sherlock Holmes. Thanks for showcasing this book!
ReplyDeleteI love historical fiction with mystery and retelling thrown in. I'm so adding this to my wish list!

This definitely sounds like something I would enjoy too. I read primarily fantasy with a bit of sci fi but I also like historical and alternate history novels.

I'm not much of an historical fiction reader but I do like mysteries. Maybe I'd enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteI seldom read mysteries, but I love historical fiction - especially stuff set in London. This one sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME choice, Barb!! I'm a HUGE Sherlock Holmes fan, so anything related to that famous detective is definitely going to get my interest! This story presents a very appealing, very original twist -- that Holmes was really a woman. Fascinating!! This is going onto my Goodreads shelves right away!! Thanks for the heads up!!
