About this listen

Charlotte Holmes, Lady Sherlock, investigates a puzzling new murder case that implicates Scotland Yard inspector Robert Treadles in the USA Today best-selling series set in Victorian England.

Inspector Treadles, Charlotte Holmes’ friend and collaborator, has been found locked in a room with two dead men, both of whom worked with his wife at the great manufacturing enterprise she has recently inherited.

Rumors fly. Had Inspector Treadles killed the men because they had opposed his wife’s initiatives at every turn? Had he killed in a fit of jealous rage because he suspected Mrs. Treadles of harboring deeper feelings for one of the men? To make matters worse, he refuses to speak on his own behalf, despite the overwhelming evidence against him.

Charlotte finds herself in a case strewn with lies and secrets. But which lies are to cover up small sins, and which secrets would flay open a past better left forgotten? Not to mention, how can she concentrate on these murders when Lord Ingram, her oldest friend and sometime lover, at last dangles before her the one thing she has always wanted?

The best book yet!!

Intriguing and beguiling all the way to the final chapter. It kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters have been very endearing and I love how the characters have developed and grown, especially Olivia.

The BEST series and narrator

Kate Reading could never be replaced as a narrator for the Lady Sherlock series. These books are so enjoyable!

Great Series! Awesome Performance!

I have loved every one of Sherry Thomas' Lady Sherlock books and this one was no exception. From the beginning, I was engrossed in the details of the "Who-Dun-It" flow of the story. Kate Reading is also a great narrator to the point that I forget sometimes that she is the same voice for all the characters. Looking forward to more Lady Sherlock in the future!

May be best book in the series thus far.

Or at least a close tie with Book 3. This tale was the most Sherlock-ian so far. All, or at least enough, of the clues are there for the reader, and yet I failed to see the obvious (once Charlotte explains it) final twist. Can you? I also appreciate the further character development, tho still not sure I'm a fan of the romance--unless you can see two sides of Doyle's Holmes played out in Charlotte and Ash, who together make a whole Sherlock.

A step down from previous books

This mystery wasn't as compelling as the previous installments. The romance was a bolt-on instead of being more integrated, as well as being rather gratuitous at times. The perversion of the Bad Guy was rather gratuitous too, inserted seemingly to highlight the plight of women in the Victorian era and used to make him more despicable. There were also almost too many characters floating around to really keep track of. Not sure I will stay with the series since it seems to be straying towards more formulaic ground.
