A Study in Scarlet Women

By: Sherry Thomas

Narrated by: Kate Reading

"I cannot recommend this series enough."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood

AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • USA Today bestselling author Sherry Thomas turns the Victorian detective story upside-down by reimagining Sherlock Holmes as a woman in the first novel of a riveting mystery series.

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—a kind-hearted widow, a police inspector, and a man who has long loved her.

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.

Brilliant

The story line and narrator were excellent and so interesting! I love all the stories in this series!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

This book gave a whole different perspective on Sherlock Holmes, although I didn't really grasp this until chapter eleven. I don't want to give away any spoilers for anyone interested in reading this book, but if you like mystery, intrigue and a good old plot twist I highly recommend you read this book. I did, however, listened to the Audible version of this book and I loved the narrator as well.
