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. For those who are fans of the slow burn romance between Lord Ingram and Charlotte Holmes, there are heartbreaking and breathtaking moments between those two. If that’s all we got, I would have been satisfied. There’s also a mystery involving Lady Ingram, who suddenly turns up […]
“Into many lives a little irregularity must fall.” (CANNONBALL!! Bingo #3 & 4)
I had read quite a few reviews of this book, and still I don’t think I fully grasped what to expect. Back in January both yesknopemaybe and sistercoyote’s reviews of this book got me to add it to both my to read list, and found it a home on my Read Harder Challenge. My exact words were “Okay, that’s it, you all win. On the to read list it goes. I’m not even that big a Sherlock Holmes fan (hush, I know, I know.)” At […]
It was beyond evident you’d never fit readily into any man’s life…
The second of “The Lady Sherlock Series” did not disappoint. (I reviewed the first in the series here). I come to these books with zero knowledge of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock. I am only familiar with the ex Mr. Madonna’s Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch. Perhaps I should read “A Study in Scarlet” for the “This Old Thing” BINGO square? Personal edification! On the heels of solving her first murder case, Charlotte Holmes (aka Sherlock) is presented with two puzzles to solve that are even closer to home […]
.. the good Lord went to ridiculous lengths to make sure that one of the finest minds in existence was housed in a body least likely to be suspected of it.
This wasn’t on my radar at all until CBR folks started reviewing The Lady Sherlock Series. Thanks! I have zero knowledge of the Sherlock Holmes novels aside from how they are interpreted or reinvented by television and film. At some point, I probably should add that to my ever-growing pile of BOOKS I SHOULD READ. For now, I can’t in any way make comparisons in this review but I have the sense that this book stands on its own merit anyway. Charlotte Holmes is not […]
A mystery with a strong appreciation of food and Harrods
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 […]
More Than Just a Gender Swapping – The Novel is Filled With Interesting Women
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 […]
