Despite the lack of lesbians, I enjoyed A Study in Charlotte. I think this author has a good handle on what makes anr intriguing mystery, as well as an understanding on how the Holmesesque savant-detective operates. What she doesn't have a great understanding of is the state of Connecticut, which is extremely funny to me as someone who has spent a lot of time there. (Protip: We don't really play rugby over here, not even in the most pretentious tips of New England.)
All-in-all, a solid read. Love the character work especially. Will definitely read the rest of the series.

ergaich's review against another edition
1.0
This book could have been a really fun read, but every time I found myself starting to enjoy it again, something disturbing would happen. <spolier> The entire plot point of Charlotte falling in love with a grown man and getting so angry that he would not love her back that she FRAMED HIM is exactly what fuels the idea that young girls are crazy and “asking for it.” And to have Briony orchestrate Charlottes rape was absolutely unnecessary and straight up disturbing.</spolier> The book would have been complete and good without those two points so I fail to see how they compel the story.
I would heavily NOT recommend this to any self respecting feminist.
