A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas

4.0

I like the fact that even though it’s a recreation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Study in Scarlet” it doesn’t feel forced. Even the characters that were recreated, especially Sherlock Holmes whose gender was changed to a female, doesn’t feel forced on you. There was a running theme of feminism and it spread beautifully in the story that made it a genuine issues and not one where it is used to be on trend.

The writing was so wonderful and weirdly calming to read while keeping the thrill of the story. There was a hint of Agatha Christie’s style of writing, specifically like Hercule Poirot stories which made it even more enjoyable to read. This book did encourage me to read other recreations by the author.
