A Ruse of Shadows

pick

Another excellent book but I will be so mad if this is truly the last book in the series. This book doesn‘t finish all the plots and I really want that!
Charolette will pull together a lot of diverse threads to bring about the reunion of people that are loved by her clients, friends, and family and to avoid going to prison for murder.
4/5 I need to reread the series in order for this book and I really really don‘t want the series to end this way

Deblovestoread I‘m waiting for my hold to come in. Wasn‘t aware it is meant to be the last in the series? 3mo

Finished earlier in the week but didn‘t get a chance to post. This is Book 8 in the Lady Sherlock series which I discovered with #PemberLittens & promptly binged so I‘d be ready for its release. I enjoy this series even though Charlotte is so smart & so good at what she does, I always feel like I‘m racing to catch up with her & this one is no exception. I continue to love her & Ash & look forward to the next one!

No 8 in the Lady Sherlock Series

#SeriesLove2024 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

Enjoyed spending time with Charlotte, Mrs Watson, Ash,..

One teeny tiny pet peeve: the characters are British/European, they'd use the Celsius temperature scale. Mrs Watson remarking on the London day with "temperatures in the sixties" took me out of the narrative for a long moment.

Sace When does the book take place? I think the UK started using metric a little late? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_Kingdom (I did a lazy google search) 5mo

TheSpineView Great job! 5mo

julesG @Sace okay, I've checked the archive of the London Evening Standard and the weather forecast used Fahrenheit. It still feels weird, especially since records are in Celsius. 5mo

Sace @julesG I can see how it‘s weird. Being in the US I wouldn‘t have even noticed. The only reason I googled is because growing up I had always heard our measurements referred to as ā€Britishā€¯ (and sometimes ā€Imperialā€¯) so I figured they were probably a little unwilling to give up their own measurement system š‚ 5mo

humouress UK changed to SI units in the 60s/ 70s. Not that I was around but I do remember some practice questions being in pounds, shillings and pence which were pre-decimalisation units. If only we had 12 fingers; base 12 is easier to do sums with. It's all them Romans' fault. 5mo

julesG @humouress I knew that weights and measurements and money changed to SI system. I just, somehow, assumed the UK had used the Celsius scale from its inception. I'm basing that assumption on my having studied temperature charts from the 1600s onwards that used Celsius. Yes, I know the Centigrade scale wasn't around that early and those average temperatures are based on guesstimations based on weather observations. I've learned something new today. 5mo

julesG I'm actually mainly embarrassed that I made this assumption in the first place. I could have had a look at newspaper archives and checked. š™„š™„š™„ Rolling my eyes at mys3 5mo

julesG ... myself. 5mo
