Miss Moriarty, I Presume? by Sherry Thomas

3.0

I enjoyed this, as it's a fun series and I like the premise, the characters and the author, but it really felt like half a book. Also I feel like things that were cute quirks early on in the series are becoming repetitive one-note bits. Like we get it, Charlotte likes ugly frilly clothes and desserts. We're on book 6, we do not need this repeated every other paragraph.

The entire climax of the book was presented in a unique way, and while I understand the reasoning, I didn't particularly like it.

Spoiler

Obviously, the whole thing was a set-up. There was no chance the Holmes was dead, and so it felt like it went on a bit too long. I don't care about Delacy and don't want to spend the entire climax in his POV. And there wasn't all that neat of a "how did they do it?!" aspect because like it was very straightforward (the detail about the cave exit being the only real missing piece).

Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment since apparently it will have the resolution this one lacked...
