“The mystery at the novel’s heart is compelling…but it’s once again the author’s incisive and compassionate glimpses at how women survive the strictures of misogyny that place the book a cut above the rest.” Austin Chronicle
Description
Charlotte Holmes, Lady Sherlock, returns in the Victorian-set mystery series from the USA Today bestselling author of A Conspiracy in Belgravia and A Study in Scarlet Women, an NPR Best Book of 2016.
Under the cover of “Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective,” Charlotte Holmes puts her extraordinary powers of deduction to good use. Aided by the capable Mrs. Watson, Charlotte draws those in need to her and makes it her business to know what other people don’t.
Moriarty’s shadow looms large. First, Charlotte’s half brother disappears. Then, Lady Ingram, the estranged wife of Charlotte’s close friend Lord Ingram, turns up dead on his estate. And all signs point to Lord Ingram as the murderer.
With Scotland Yard closing in, Charlotte goes under disguise to seek out the truth. But uncovering the truth could mean getting too close to Lord Ingram—and a number of malevolent forces.
Praise
“The mystery at the novel’s heart is compelling…but it’s once again the author’s incisive and compassionate glimpses at how women survive the strictures of misogyny that place the book a cut above the rest.” Austin Chronicle
“This spell-binding tale is the third in the Lady Sherlock Historical Mysteries and is even better (if possible) than the last.” Suspense Magazine
“Charlotte Holmes’ cover is nothing if not impressive: far more than being the great detective’s amanuensis, she is the embodiment of ‘Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective’ to her clients.” Criminal Element
“This is the smartest and most engrossing Lady Sherlock book yet, becoming more and more harrowing as we get nearer to the true killer. Besides the twisty and Sherlockian nature of the mystery, Hollow is delightfully cheeky when it plays with the romance between Charlotte and Ingram and heartwarming in the affection between Charlotte and her sisters…Thomas has written the Sherlock I’ve always wanted, and I can’t wait to for the next one.” BookRiot
“A novel in which you cannot wait to find out what happens next—even as you do not want it to end. For everyone who wants their mysteries spiced with plentiful twists and a delicious dose of sexual chemistry.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
