A Conspiracy in Belgravia by Sherry Thomas
5.0
4.5 STARS
This book might well have killed me. First of all, I love the classic Sherlock Holmes tales. Second, I love Sherry Thomas. Third, the mystery made me befuddled and captivated. Last, the romance made me dizzy. Even if it was non-existent.
Let's start with the mystery. How much can one person twist a plot to end up with a puzzling and yet astonishing conclusion? That's Sherry Thomas. I mean I tried keeping up with all the misdirections but the twists kept coming one after another. But I LOVED it. This was so good. The mystery was just amazing.
Let's move on to the romance. Romance? It was hardly there but when they interacted, I swear, my heart could take it no more. Why Ash why??? Why?? The tension between them was palpable, the longing so agonizing. How can two people who feel so much stay apart? How did Ash have that strength knowing he and his wife didn't love each other? That she even despised him? How ASH!!! In times like this, I feel vindicative and wish Charlotte married Bancroft just to torture Ash for the rest of his life. This amount of pain is unbearable! I might just have killed him.
Such a well-written mystery with a slow-burn romance interwoven in it. The relationships between each of the characters are great, the dialogues, the intelligent conversations. AMAZING book. Definitely one of my top favorites. I am so scared to read each book because of the fear that it will end one day. I can't bear that thought.
