A Question of Holmes by Brittany Cavallaro
3.0
This is the final book in the Charlotte Holmes series which follows the descendants of the original Holmes and Watson. This installment is set in at Oxford. There is a pre-college program that Jamie and Charlotte are taking part in and naturally they stumble upon a mystery. Last summer a series of accidents escalated to the point that a girl went missing and was never found. The sleuths want to stop something similar from happening again this summer.
Things I loved: Charlotte's POV was fun to see, the setting, the characters backstories
Things I didn't love: the ending, missed Jamie's POV, too short (so much more could have been explored further (mainly the family relationships)), a certain reveal that kind of annoyed me a lot, I was underwhelmed by most of the reveals
This was a bit of a letdown. I was wanting an awesome conclusion, but this didn't deliver. The ending brought this book from a 4 star to a 3 which is so disappointing as this was one of my favorite series. There were so many aspects to it that made it feel rushed and poorly thought out. Things were tied up in a way that suggests there will never be another book (this is the final, so this makes sense) but at the same time, the ending in itself leaves so many things open. I have questions that I want answered.
I wanted to love this novel as much as the rest of the series, but unfortunately I just really didn't.
