A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro
4.0
Throughout the years there have been enough Sherlock Holmes reinterpretations that you could ask yourself 'do really really need another one?'. Usually I'd answer with a 'no', but [b:A Study in Charlotte|23272028|A Study in Charlotte (Charlotte Holmes, #1)|Brittany Cavallaro|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1435248277s/23272028.jpg|42811828] is a good'un for the YA Thriller genre.
I mean, if you have read/watched all the adaptations/reinterpretations you're not going to find anything new or interesting, because you're probably already accustomed to all the plot twists and turns and expected characterisations. But for someone starting off in the thriller genre this is a good book.
What I liked most about this, is like the Elementary tv show, A Study in Charlotte has gender diversity, which is great because we need more representation out there. And it says to all the little girls out there, 'guess what? You can be a Sherlock too'.
So ya, all you younger readers, definitely give this a read.
