A review by karenmsecrest
A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
Quit the Audiobook 2.5 hours in. The narration is first person and Jamie Watson is British… but the male narrator is America with no British accent. I got too distracted by Watson’s narration and never made it to Julia Whelan’s chapters.  

Love the concept, but:
  • Not sure this is a YA book? Drug abuse, Oxi injections, references to sexual assault. Maybe it’s YA the same way Veronica Mars is YA?
  • At times, the Holmes/Watson references are clunky. 
  • The line “Great great great great grandfather” could be a drinking game. Counted at least 8 instances in the first third.
