A CONSPIRACY IN BELGRAVIA Lady Sherlock, Book 2

The second in the Lady Sherlock series is a delight, especially as performed by the extraordinary Kate Reading. A STUDY IN SCARLET WOMEN introduced Charlotte Holmes, an unusual young woman who created the fictional Sherlock Holmes so she could use her detecting skills in a male-dominated society. Clients who come to Sherlock must go through his sister--because he's gravely ill. In CONSPIRACY, Lady Ingram needs Holmes's help on a delicate matter, a matter she wants kept from her husband. Charlotte, aided by Mrs. Watson, reluctantly agrees to take the case. Reading doesn't miss the story's subtlety. Her voice slides over innuendo into sarcasm, smoothly capturing Thomas's sparkling wit. Charlotte discovers she may have an illegitimate brother, the bodies pile up, oh, and, of course, Moriarty is involved. Brilliant listening. S.J.H.
