The Hollow of Fear (The Lady Sherlock Series)
As seen on The Today Show! One of the best summer mystery picks!
Charlotte Holmes, Lady Sherlock, returns in the Victorian-set mystery series from the USA Today bestselling author of A Conspiracy in Belgravia and A Study in Scarlet Women, an NPR Best Book of 2016.
Under the cover of "Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective," Charlotte Holmes puts her extraordinary powers of deduction to good use. Aided by the capable Mrs. Watson, Charlotte draws those in need to her and makes it her business to know what other people don't.
Moriarty's shadow looms large. First, Charlotte's half brother disappears. Then, Lady Ingram, the estranged wife of Charlotte's close friend Lord Ingram, turns up dead on his estate. And all signs point to Lord Ingram as the murderer.
With Scotland Yard closing in, Charlotte goes under disguise to seek out the truth. But uncovering the truth could mean getting too close to Lord Ingram--and a number of malevolent forces...

Yes! I loved this one, of course.
Charlotte is a delight as always, and her genius is always fun to [s]watch[/s] listen to. The book often goes back and forth in a timeline, only clarifying things much later through flashbacks.
The romance picks up but so does the drama with Lord Ingram being a suspect in the murder of his wife.
And coming in to prove his innocence we have Sherrinford Holmes a.k.a Charlotte Holmes, brother to Sherlock Holmes, a.k.a Charlotte Holmes. Busy woman.
Sherrinford was a delightful little man even if he was Charlotte and I loved to see Treadles (sp?) squirm around him after he realized it was Charlotte in disguise. This man's (Treadles) character arc was quite interesting as he struggles with his issues regarding women who are not in their "proper place."
I eagerly await Book 4, and I must find some Medeleines in the meantime.
