Women of her class are molded to be ornaments

The Hollow of Fear by Sherry Thomas

by Leave a Comment

At this point, I think enough Cannonballers have written rave reviews about Sherry Thomas’ “Lady Sherlock Series”.  Just read these books if the subject matter appeals to you at all. They are a treasure and I think that each one is better than the last. “The Hollow of Fear” is the third book in the series. I have to admit, again, that my Sherlock Holmes background is via Madonna’s ex husband and Benedict Cumberbatch. I, therefore, come at these books without a reference point for the mysteries that lie within them. I am told that they mirror the mysteries in […]

Where are my Lady Sherlock fans?

The Hollow of Fear by Sherry Thomas

by 5 Comments

I got a little thrill this year when I told Sherry Thomas on Twitter I was so excited for this book, and she liked my status. The Hollow of Fear is the third book in the Sherry Thomas series.

If that’s all we got, I would have been satisfied. There’s also a mystery involving Lady Ingram, who suddenly turns up dead. Charlotte has to go under disguise to find out who killed her. I really […]

A mystery with a strong appreciation of food and Harrods

A Conspiracy in Belgravia by Sherry Thomas

The novel starts with Inspector Treadles at a crime scene, happy to be solving crime on his own, away from Holmes and all that goes along with her, only to run into her and Lord Ingram outside the crime scene.  From here, the novel backtracks six days to explain why Holmes and Lord Ingram ended up at a crime scene shortly after police discovery. Lord Bancroft had asked to meet with Charlotte at the end of the last novel, and they have this appointment early in A Conspiracy in Belgravia.  Charlotte is surprised to find that Bancroft (Ingram’s brother) has decided […]

More Than Just a Gender Swapping – The Novel is Filled With Interesting Women

A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas

by Leave a Comment

I have never actually read an original Sherlock Holmes novel or story.  I think we read a children’s version of The Hound of Baskerville at one point but it was definitely a simplified version since it was in 6th grade, during our second year of English language instruction at my German school (I of course was already fluent but it’s not like there was an alternative course I could have taken so it made more sense for me to just be in the class with the rest of my class mates). I have, however, seen the Robert Downey Junior movies […]
