There are references to past cases and past enemies and I think at this point there is a larger established back story that I think new readers would find confusing and lost.
Sherlock escape room review series#
I wouldn’t start this series here if you haven’t read other books in it. I will say that this isn’t the book to randomly pick up in the series and expect to know what’s going on. 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. 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. Her search leads her aboard the RMS Provence, sailing from Southampton for the eastern hemisphere. 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. If you love historical mysteries this is a great place to start! Both familiar but new! SummaryĬharlotte 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.Īfter feigning her own death in Cornwall to escape from Moriarty’s perilous attention, Charlotte Holmes goes into hiding. If you haven’t checked this series out yet it’s great for fans of Sherlock Holmes but with a feminine twist! Author, Sherry Thomas, does a great job staying true to the character of Sherlock Holmes but with a gender bender, but the methods and problem solving that Holmes is known for is seen reflected in these charming characters. Some books I can absolutely tell that I just don’t like it but with others it could be that I am just not in the right headspace for a particular book, which is why this series needled me so bad! I am glad I decided to give it another go as it has been a very enjoyable series and this book was another great installment.
Sometimes that happens with readers-it’s like the right book and the wrong time and it can be so hard to decide if it was that I wasn’t in the mood for that book or if I really just didn’t care for it. I am so glad I did because I loved it and binge read all the books that had some out at that point so I could be ready for more in the series! So after some consideration, I picked up the first book and decided to try again. But it bugged me so bad that I didn’t like this series! So many of my friends around the blog-o-sphere loved it and honestly it SHOULD be a series that I love. I couldn’t get into the first book when I picked it up the first time so I put it down as a DNF and almost wrote the series off all together.
