A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas
3.0

What if the great Sherlock Holmes was a lady pretending to be a man in order to be taken seriously and escape the rigid gender norms of her day?

This was a strong 3 stars for me. In other words there is a very good chance that I will read the second book, but I am not dying to read it. I enjoyed the relationship between the characters and watching the story unfold. I thought the author did a good job establishing Charlotte and how her mind worked. I did miss picturing Benedict Cumberbatch, but perhaps he could play Lord Ingram?
