A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro
4.0
I really enjoyed this! I have never actually read an Arthur Conan Doyle book, but I love Sherlock and the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr so I do know the basics of the stories. I loved this new fresh take on the Holmes and Watson characters, Charlotte and Jamie were an awesome duo.
I think the dialogue between Holmes and Watson was what kept the pages flying, instead of the mystery they were trying to solve. It didn't grab me, and I wasn't dying to see who was the killer I just loved reading the conversations between the two.
The last few chapters really ramped up the pace though, and I found myself finding any spare moment to get my hands on the book and finish. I'm looking forward to seeing the next adventures they go on, and possibly even adding one of Conan Doyle's books to my to-read shelf.
