Finished in April but I‘m behind in posting. Book 6 in the Lady Sherlock series. One to go before the new one in June. I liked this one overall, the mystery was intriguing & the setting of a cult sanctuary & I love the sexy sassiness of relationship of Holmes & Ash but things were a bit disjointed & it will be interesting to see how things pick up or change for Holmes in the next one. So ⬇️
Second book of the day, complete— if you‘re not acquainted with Charlotte Holmes, you should be!Suspenseful, clever, & now with a bit of spice. The high stakes made this latest installment so satisfying 🕵️♀️ this mystery centered on “the occult”— always love seeing how writers portray this
also, feeling a bit better after some tea & my famous lemon orzo soup 🍲 delighted to tackle my holiday tbr tbh ☕️
Two new to me words in the same sentence and cucurbit doesn‘t say gourd to me 🤷🏻♀️

Light pick. I was really intrigued by the mysterious religious cult investigation plot line, but it ended up being a total dud! While I love all the main characters, the introduction of Moriarty‘s estranged daughter didn‘t really add anything for me. The relationship development between the main characters was a strength, especially Charlotte & Lord Ingram. The ending saved the plot for me, and after reading the blurb for the next, I am excited!
I‘ve really enjoyed this series but sad to say this installment was a struggle for me. I actually started it months ago and put it aside before finally finishing it on audio. The mystery is kind of convoluted, there‘s a lot of description and not much action, and after the opening chapters the great villain Moriarty doesn‘t seem all that scary. I hope the next one is better.
This was my #BookSpinDoubleSpin in February and I finally finished!
Next in the series comes out March, 2023 ...
I chose this one for #LetterM because someone else beat me to Mary's Monster, which is one of my favorite M books. But I have been really enjoying this Lady Sherlock series, especially its subtle, continuous social commentary.

I love the series but this latest entry was a bit of a mixed bag. Charlotte is still her inimitable self but this case seemed at turns outlandish and deliberately convoluted. I do hope the series continues but it will take some significant maneuvering to tie up the multiple loose ends after this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love the Scooby gang but the plot was over the top.
I‘m officially caught up with the Lady Sherlock series! Not much more to say except again, I really love this new take on Sherlock and the audiobooks are excellent. I‘d highly recommend this series! 4⭐️

I love this series. The twist on the Sherlock tale is great, and it just keeps morphing in fun and unique ways. They‘re great on audio too.
Help!
I love love love this series - it‘s smart, fast paced, atmospheric, fabulous characters and well written. But I‘ve read them all!
What series can I start now that is full of smart, strong women with an historical element???
This book is BARELY a pick. I thought the story was not very cohesive and I did not enjoy the way the author switched out of third person narrative. I felt this was very much a filler book. Still love the series! Moriarty comes to Charlotte to ask for her help to determine if his daughter is alive and well in a religious compound. There are many secrets and Charlotte and her friends must race to discover and connect them all. 2/5 stars.
I love this series, so of course, I read the 6th one when it was published in November. Love Charlotte Holmes & her found family, the mysteries, & the bit of romance. #12booksof2021 @Andrew65
Hi… it's been a while. 2021 was… well.. all my spoons went to getting through each day one day at a time. 2021 is the year I read the least books ever. I'm at 13, hoping getting to 15 maybe.
I found 2021 harder than 2020. Work was intense, demanding and completely bonkers every single week. I come home and just sit and don't want to do nothing other than sit, listen to podcast or radio. Tv is not much.
I did finish the new Lady Sherlock. 🥰
One of my favorite series, and this latest book did not disappoint. I remember the last book (Murder on Cold Street) didn't pull me in as quickly as the others, and I was worried the author may be losing steam, but this latest story pulled me in right away so I am very glad that is not the case! Love the humor sprinkled in.
I love this series! Finished last night. #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #WGWordSearch 270 pts #AVeryMerryReadathon #BookSpinBingo #AnyWayYouReadathon #WinterCosy #WrapItUpReadathon #HolidayHorrorsReadathon #Adventathon
Yeah …. My first ever mid year slump put this modest target in serious jeopardy! But I‘m here and I have lots of December reading plans to execute yet! ⭐️
This series just gets better and better! It's smart, rich in detail, diverse and full of puzzles, mystery and a broad cast of amazing characters. Thomas manages to make this thoroughly modern in tone, outlook, opinion and politics - whilst still remaining faithful to the original characters. It seems effortlessly feminist - as if Victorian England was always that way!
When there‘s a storm raging outside. This really is the only place to be!
I have no self control! It‘s super cold, blowing a gale outside. Puppy‘s sleeping so I‘m heading back to Victorian London with Charlotte Sherlock! Love love love this series!
Giving thanks for her Saturday morning sticker club! This book gets 5⭐️s already and I‘m not even at page 1 yet!

I love this series - and I‘m all caught up! How long can I leave book 6 on the shelf before it leapfrogs the TBR pile I wonder! 🧐
Fun!
We meet Moriarty. And his daughter.
Worthwhile adversaries.
I reread the 5th book in this series by audio, love the narrator. The tagged is the 6th book, & as usual, I loved it. The romance makes progress, but the other events are very serious. Moriarty is directly involved this time. Not sure I loved the mystery as much as previous books but interested to see where Thomas goes with it.
This is my TBR list for October‘s #BookSpinBingo & #BookSpin 🎃
I can‘t wait to see where they fall on the bingo board. 🤓
