"I cannot recommend this series enough."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood
Charlotte Holmes is accustomed to solving crimes, not being accused of them, but she finds herself in a dreadfully precarious position as the bestselling Lady Sherlock series continues.
Charlotte’s success on the RMS Provence has afforded her a certain measure of time and assurance. Taking advantage of that, she has been busy, plotting to prise the man her sister loves from Moriarty’s iron grip.
Disruption, however, comes from an unexpected quarter. Lord Bancroft Ashburton, disgraced and imprisoned as a result of Charlotte’s prior investigations, nevertheless manages to press Charlotte into service: Underwood, his most loyal henchman, is missing and Lord Bancroft wants Charlotte to find Underwood, dead or alive.
But then Lord Bancroft himself turns up dead and Charlotte, more than anyone else, meets the trifecta criteria of motive, means, and opportunity. Never mind rescuing anyone else, with the law breathing down her neck, can Charlotte save herself from prosecution for murder?

      Once again, longtime series narrator Kate Reading splendidly delivers the latest Lady Sherlock mystery. This time Charlotte herself is suspected of murder. Reading handles the myriad flashbacks with ease. She knows these characters well and fluidly shares moments of banter between Charlotte and her lover, Lord Ingram, as well as maintaining nail-biting excitement whenever needed. Disguises are plentiful, mistaken identity is common, and dastardly villains abound. Reading manages the mystery of the missing Mr. Underwood as deftly as Livia's despair over her lost love. The conclusion is fraught with high drama, yet Reading's overall performance is understated as she juggles the many subplots and backstories. Fans will thoroughly enjoy this mystery. For maximum enjoyment, first-timers should start at the beginning of the series. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
