The Lady Sherlock Series: Book #1
Bookseller recommendation
“I love how this reimagines Sherlockian stories, flipping the whole genre on its head. If you loved Enola Holmes, you'll love this. And vice versa. In this universe, Charlotte Holmes has created a situation for herself in which she's a fallen woman in order to create independence for herself in a world in which women have none. I'm a particular fan of how Charlotte is clearly neurodivergent and is written with strong feelings for her sisters and others, though she shows that care in her own unique way. And of course along the way she's brilliantly solving mysteries, too. ”
— Stacy • The Curious Cat Bookshop
USA Today bestselling author Sherry Thomas turns the story of the renowned Sherlock Holmes upside down.
With her inquisitive mind, Charlotte Holmes has never felt comfortable with the demureness expected of the fairer sex in upper-class society. But even she never thought that she would become a social pariah, an outcast fending for herself on the mean streets of London.
When the city is struck by a trio of unexpected deaths and suspicion falls on her sister and her father, Charlotte is desperate to find the true culprits and clear the family name. She’ll have help from friends new and old, but in the end, it will be up to Charlotte, under the assumed name Sherlock Holmes, to challenge society’s expectations and match wits against an unseen mastermind.
Sherry Thomas is one of the most acclaimed historical romance authors writing today, having won the Rita Award two years running and appearing on innumerable “Best of the Year” lists, including those of Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, Dear Author, and All about Romance.
