A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

4.0

A fun and addictive Watson and Holmes novel for those who love YA, BBC, and the original stories. Jamie Watson attends Sherringford Academy in Connecticut because his Mom wants him out of London, he got a scholarship, and because his father, a Watson himself, lives nearby with his new wife and children. On campus he spies Charlotte Holmes, the Holmes of his generation. He's never wanted to look like he was angling to meet her, but he's studied all the old books his great, great grandfather wrote all the same. Surely they'll be great friends.

When a boy who assaulted Charlotte is murdered, it's up to Holmes and Watson to prove themselves innocent - though they might have cause for wishing the miscreant harm.

A fun murder mystery that touches on the troubling topics of rape, drinking, drug addiction, murder, and big feelings.
