Equal parts tender, thrilling, and hilarious, A Study in Charlotte is the first in a trilogy brimming with wit and edge-of-the-seat suspense.
Jamie (James Watson) meets Charlotte Holmes at a boarding school in Connecticut. They are both drawn to each other because they are the descendents of the famous detective duo, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Jamie is at the school on scholarship to be close to the father he hasn’t bonded with since his parents’ divorce. Charlotte has all kinds of issues as well. As a death occurs, the two are drawn together to solve the mystery and prove themselves innocent.
All in all, this is a wonderful story and Charlotte resembles her famous forefather by using her intelligence to try to solve the crime. In a story built on the classic Sherlock Holmes, the story doesn’t disappoint. The two have a rocky beginning and there is a bit of humor and romance woven in. Jamie more than balances out her meticulous mind with his caring and loyalty. I received this book from the publisher and in no way influenced my review.
