The game is afoot as Charlotte Holmes returns in the atmospheric second novel in New York Times bestseller Sherry Thomas's Victorian-set Lady Sherlock series.
Being shunned by Society gives Charlotte Holmes the time and freedom to put her extraordinary powers of deduction to good use. As “Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective,” aided by the capable Mrs. Watson, she’s had great success helping with all manner of inquiries, but she’s not prepared for the new client who arrives at her Upper Baker Street office.
Lady Ingram, wife of Charlotte’s dear friend and benefactor, wants Sherlock Holmes to find her first love, who failed to show up at their annual rendezvous. Matters of loyalty and discretion aside, the case becomes even more personal for Charlotte as the missing man is none other than Myron Finch, her illegitimate half brother.
In the meanwhile, Charlotte wrestles with a surprising proposal of marriage, a mysterious stranger woos her sister Livia, and an unidentified body that surfaces where least expected. Charlotte’s investigative prowess is challenged as never before: Can she find her brother in time—or will he, too, end up as a nameless corpse somewhere in the belly of London?
A Conspiracy in Belgravia
A Conspiracy in Belgravia is book 2 in the Lady Sherlock series. It is helpful to read the books in order. I loved getting more of Charlotte and her players. All the people in her orbit are bright, hard working, and cunning.
Its no secret I am a romance fan, so getting more peeks at the possible romance between Lord Ingram and Charlotte is a huge pull for me. But, in this book, we get Lady Ingram. We are also introduced to Moriarty! This mystery is many layered and really kept me guessing. Honestly, I am just loving this series so much. Charlotte is such a force! She is brilliant to be sure, but she is also considerate and hard working. Overall, this was a fantastic mystery! The audiobooks are great by the way. I highly recommend them if you are a fan of audiobooks.
The Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn, The Fiona Mahoney series by Kerrigan Bryne…then you will probably like A Conspiracy in Belgravia!
I love these! The newest one is out this week and I’m just starting the audio arc.
