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.

Publisher’s Weekly
Sherlockians who also love romance novels will best appreciate Thomas’s third Lady Sherlock mystery set in Victorian England …. The prologue, which features Charlotte’s half-brother, Myron Finch, who has been posing as her family’s groom and is a former minion of Moriarty, “a man of dangerous aims,” builds to a dramatic encounter between Charlotte and Moriarty. The main narrative flashes forward several months to the case of Lord Ingram Ashburton. Ingram, who’s smitten with Charlotte, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of his estranged wife, Lady Ingram, who became a fugitive after Charlotte exposed Lady Ingram’s role in the death of three agents of the Crown. Those who find Thomas’s creative reimagining plausible and don’t mind anachronistic language will have fun.”

“Kate Reading’s narration makes the third installment of the Lady Sherlock series blissful to listen to. The story is quite interesting by itself, and Reading’s masterful skills add even greater value to it. She delivers outstanding character interpretations including different voices for all the characters, creating the illusion of listening to real people. The story picks up just where the previous book ended, and there are several events and characters who refer to the previous book. Charlotte, Lady Sherlock, will have to use her powers of deduction once more in a complicated case in which much is at stake and nothing is what it seems. This is Sherlock Holmes at its best–with a feminist twist. “
