And I was super happy to see that indeed there was. I read somewhere of the author mentioning that the book has strong romantic elements. She's also empathetic, enough that I was rooting for her until the end. She's just.different, and her powers of observation are top-notch. However, the way the author presented her, Charlotte is not a sociopath. She's a very unusual heroine, strong, very smart, her mind runs on a different plane than ours, and I guess it's reasonable to assume that she's modeled after Sherlock Holmes. There are enough red herrings to keep you guessing, and there are also lots of surprising twists and turns in the story-both in Charlotte's life and in the mystery-that would keep you involved until the very end.įor me, one of the factors of this novel's success is the heroine-Charlotte Holmes. I don't read a lot of mysteries, but I thought the mystery here was well done and logical. I wanted to know if Sherry Thomas, whose historical romances I loved, could pull it off. That's why I was intrigued when I read the blurb. A phenomenal read, and by the time I reached the end, I wanted more! I can't wait for the next book, which comes out in 2017!Īnyway, my review: I became interested in all things Sherlock due to the BBC show Sherlock. A STUDY IN SCARLET WOMEN is a breath of fresh air in the market of historical romances, where one story tends to blend into another.
