THE ART OF THEFT Lady Sherlock, Book 4

Narrator Kate Reading gives her usual wonderful interpretation of Charlotte "Sherlock" Holmes and those close to her, including her sister, Olivia; Lord Ingram; and Mrs. Watson. In Sherry Thomas's fourth Lady Sherlock mystery, the stakes are higher than ever. Holmes and Co. find themselves involved in blackmail and complex intrigues when the Maharani of Ajmer enlists them to reacquire letters of an incriminating nature that could lead to an international scandal. The letters are hidden behind a priceless painting soon to be auctioned at a masquerade ball in France. The group heads across the Channel to the chateau where the auction and ball will be held. Reading's performance delivers a suspense-packed, fast-paced heist adventure, cleverly plotted with unrequited romance and plenty of humor to offset the tension. S.J.H.
