A Study in Charlotte

"Always five stars"

"I was completely captivated from start to finish. Superb!"

"Quite literally could not find it at my library so checked it out digitally on Libby (online library). I have never read a whole book online before but I was on my phone all day. Could NOT set it down. Currently have a hood on a hard copy at my local library for the second book and this is already one of my favorite books/series ever! (And I read A LOT)!! Definitely not for everyone but totally up my speed. The narration kind of reminds me of that from Storm Runner. Mystery with a little romance, nostalgia, some hard topics (16/18+?) and for me it was kind of heartwarming through it all. 5/5"

"This whole series was amazing! Anyone else love this series and have similar recommendations?"

"Hmm, ok so this was a reread and I don't know what to rate it. I read it in maybe 2017 or 18 and kinda skimmed it out of boredom. I only reread it now because I knew I didn't remember a thing about it and I was in the mood for a Sherlock retelling and the description compared it to Ally Carter and Maureen Johnson, both of whom I am a fan. This time I listened to the audiobook, so there's no such thing as skimming and it's not really comparable, but I don't <i>think</i> I was bored. This book has no plot twist and did not keep me guessing but it does have the Truly Devious vibe, if not quite as engaging. There is a certain character I can only describe as deranged, and at least one of the MCs is genuinely an asshole, but their asshole-ness is kind of explained and I enjoy them as a character. I think the best way to sum it all up is that I'd be here way more for the characters than the mystery. But it also has a good *vibe*. If that makes sense. The sort of vibe I was looking for in the first place so I was satisfied.<br/><br/>Oh, and for a fairly lighthearted story some of the themes are kind of dark, like rape, and drug addiction, specifically a 14 year old being addicted to cocaine and oxy and morphine potentially? There's more but I think those are the big ones."

"If you’re a fan of Sherlock adaptions, then this is definitely a must. I’m usually not a big fan of gender-bent retellings, but this was a really fun and dynamic story! Lots of teen angst, drama, and of course a Sherlock-style mystery to unpack. "

"This book is pretty good, it’s definitely not the best book out there but it was entertaining and very enjoyable. I feel like the author was trying to make them to much like Watson and Holmes, it should have been less forced and I feel like they should be there own people. Also Jamie feels a bit controlling in the beginning which considering Charolette and him had never met it can come off as a bit weird. Overall this is a good book if you can get over some of the flaws."

"The best book I’ve read this year and by far my favorite Holmes adaptation "

"Super cute with loveable characters"

"4.5*"
