A TEMPEST AT SEA Lady Sherlock, Book 7

Kate Reading gives a top-notch performance as Charlotte Holmes faces another perilous adventure, this time, on a ship. After her feigned death in MISS MORIARTY, I PRESUME? Charlotte, in disguise on the RMS PROVINCE, awaits news that will allow her to drop the sham and live normally. A murder is committed on board during a vicious storm, but Charlotte's investigation must be conducted quietly since she can't risk revealing her secret. The usual gang is ever helpful--from Charlotte's lover, Lord Ingram, and her sister, Olivia, to the indomitable Mrs. Watson. Reading never misses a nuance or a giggle, always managing to stay slightly above the fray. As Charlotte nibbles her way through cream cakes and custard tarts, the mystery deepens, and Reading keeps everything lively. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2023]
