Welcome to Litsy!

I was too busy counting the steps down to the door. Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen. Outside, she was waiting for me, her hands clasped together in the sun. I hadn‘t had to say a word. She‘d already known what I was thinking.

Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson finally have a chance to start over. With all the freedom their pre-college summer program provides and no one on their tail, the only mystery they need to solve, once and for all, is what they are to each other.

Charlotte and Jamie are in Oxford for the summer to take a few classes and look into a mysterious disappearance. They can also finally begin to learn what they could be together, but a murder upends their plans. This was a delight. I will miss Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson. It was a wonderful way to begin my 2024 reading journey. 4+/5 ⭐️for an excellent ending to this series.

That may, in the weeks before the business with Dr. Larkin and the Dramatics Society, the messages in the floodlights and the stripped-down production of Hamlet and the orchids, the orchids everywhere—before Jamie Watson came to stay and my life, as it often did, grew infinitely stranger—my uncle Leander took to throwing parties again.

A lovely ending to this series. I‘ve truly fallen in love with the young, complicated Holmes and Watson, and their reimagined selves feel more real to me than the original characters. The Shakespeare bits woven through the story were especially effective. Just wonderful! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Four book later, I have a permanent soft spot for Charlotte and Jamie. I loved how they got to the point where they didn't want to tackle life without the other. Perfect compliments of the other.

I loved this series for the satisfying mystery/YA aspects, but truly felt it could‘ve been better to end it on book 3 with the more optimistic, open-ended resolution to Jamie & Charlotte‘s relationship. Also don‘t love the overly simplistic resolutions with nominal “friends” who‘ve repeatedly and egregiously betrayed them, and Jamie‘s untreated PTSD that seems to inexplicably go unnoticed by everyone and then just disappear.

Been saving this one. Worth the wait. I‘ll miss Charlotte and Jamie!!

I love anything Sherlock-y! Finally finished this series!

Perfect ending to this delightful series. Generous epilogue as well which I especially adore when I am invested in the characters.

Saturday night reading! Sorry about the phone arm shadow, couldn‘t be bothered to move or turn more lights on!

Has anyone read this yet

She‘d already known what I was thinking.

When you get excited with a beautiful cover and a modern day retelling/sequel of Sherlock Holmes, it might be a good idea to check whether it is a part of a series or not 🤦🏻‍♀️
This is the concluding book of the series where Charlotte Holmes is the great-great-heart-granddaughter of Sherlock and Jamie Watson is the greatX3 grandson of Watson. I may have missed out a great. Anyway, I enjoyed this YA novel and will definitely read the series.

The FINAL installment of the Charlotte Holmes series!!

Time to finish listening to this series. #audiobook

The mystery itself was straightforward but missing the excitement that I‘ve come to expect. I would have been ok with that but the angst of the ill-fated romance between Watson & Holmes is just…well...come on! I can say that I wish that this series had just cut out the romance entirely. Sorry, but it left me feeling like Jamie deserved much more & the epilogue gave me no relief because given the history in this series I just don‘t believe it.

...4 books and I still can't figure out how I feel about the romance lol

I feel like this mystery was a little juvenile and the wrap up was a but too simple...I also don't know if this book was necessary in the series but I did enjoy it

I finished The Case for Jamie yesterday so now I'm reading the LASSSSSSST Charlotte Holmes book! 😮😮😮😮

[#BookReview] A Question For Holmes by Brittany Cavallaro. Unfortunately, I wasn‘t the biggest fan of the final book in the Charlotte Holmes series. Mostly because of how absolutely dull the mystery/case was throughout the entire book. However, I did enjoy some aspects of the conclusion to one of my favorite book series.
🍁🍁.5/5

June went by really fast and it feels as though I didn't read much at all! Summer Reading at the library has hit me like a ton of bricks! Here's hoping I get to more books in July.

Since I read the first one in the series, A Study in Charlotte, I‘ve impatiently waited for the next. A fun modern twist to Holmes and Watson (who wouldn‘t be who they were without Moriarty). Highly recommend this series.

While not the best of the series it was nice to have a calmer mystery. Nice ending to the series. I have spent a wonderful weekend in Nashville. I got a lot of reading in while my husband was in class.

Charlotte and Jamie are in Oxford to attend a summer program when a mystery presents itself, naturally the game‘s a foot. I admit to being a bit tearful at the end of this one , it feels like closure , an ending for the reader and a beginning for this cute crime busting couple.

I just adored this series. Cavallaro‘s Holmes and Watson are complex, well-drawn characters, and I couldn‘t wait to see what happened next. I‘m sad to say goodbye to them, but this book was a fitting conclusion to the series.

This series ended up growing on me so much that I'm sad to let it go. I took these characters for granted through the first two books, as they grew into themselves and I fell in love and now it's over and I'm feeling a little bereft. Still, this was a solid and satisfying ending to the quartet.

A book told from multiple POVs

If this is the final book, it was a satisfying conclusion. Tbh, the mystery was a little bleh for me, but I see the reason for it and what it leads to.

Solid ending to a really fun, enjoyable series.

I‘ve worked 12 of the last 14 days so I have earned this

I am hoping that doing my favorite warm weather activities will encourage some warm weather to actually come to KC.

Half way done with the tagged book and loving it. It just hit me this is the last book of the series. 😭

I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE LAST BOOK AND I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR IT TO END

Between #blackhistorymonth and #womanshistorymonth, I have read lots of heavy books and lots of nonfiction. I feel smart, worldly, aware, woke, as my daughter would say. But also a tiny bit like my head is going to explode. It is nice to take a break and read something irrelevant, light and easy.

So I still need to read this one, but for now am just ridiculously excited that it fits on my "YA Sherlock Holmes" shelf without me having to rearrange. ? Weird, right? ?

Man do I love this series. This was my favorite by far! So good!

Does anyone else ever want to just take two weeks off work just to read from your TBR?

1. A Question of Holmes
2. Fruit of the Drunken Tree (for a book club next week)
3. Night

Excited that I got to meet Brittany Cavallaro tonight!

This was an almost perfect conclusion to the series. The story could have been a bit longer. There could have been a bit more things fleshed out between Holmes and Watson, and the case was wrapped up a bit too quickly, but everything came together nicely. I‘m going to miss complicated, not always likeable Holmes, but I look forward to reading new things from Cavallaro.

Also, I recommend reading the series on audio. They‘re very well done.
