Sherry Thomas
USA Today bestselling author Sherry Thomas turns the story of the renowned Sherlock Holmes upside down in the first novel in this Victorian mystery series.... With her inquisitive mind, Charlotte Holmes has never felt comfortable with the demureness expected of the fairer sex in upper class society. But even she never thought that she would become a social pariah, an outcast fending for herself on the mean streets of London. When the city is struck by a trio of unexpected deaths and suspicion falls on her sister and her father, Charlotte is desperate to find the true culprits and clear the family name. She’ll have help from friends new and old—a kind-hearted widow, a police inspector, and a man who has long loved her. But in the end, it will be up to Charlotte, under the assumed name Sherlock Holmes, to challenge society’s expectations and match wits against an unseen mastermind.An NPR Best Book of 2016

"A twist on Sherlock Holmes. This book sets up the story line that will continue thru the rest of the books. You really need to read this one to continue on and understand the resto of the series. I enjoyed the story line and character development. It's a light mystery with hints of a possible romance to come in the future."

"This series is among my top ten all time favorite book series. A sherlock holmes spin-off that maintains some of the best parts of the sherlock stories but with all sorts of elements not found in the original (much richer female characters, some more humor, relationships, etc.)"
