6/10/2023 0 Comments The Art of Theft by Sherry Thomas![]() ![]() Early on, we learn of her holiday in Paris with her ‘niece,’ in which she has entertained admirers both male and female. Mrs Watson, too, really comes into her own in this story. Fortunately, Charlotte and her friends are able to persuade the reluctant lady to take them on their own merits, helped to a great extent by Mrs Watson’s past connections to their new client. The job on offer requires an able-bodied operative, who is capable of breaking into a highly guarded French château and stealing one of the larger paintings about to be auctioned off at a prestigious gathering of the great and good. Sherlock himself gets nary a mention this time around, as Charlotte’s latest client discounts the possibility of hiring a bedridden and mostly non-communicative detective. This series has been really getting into its stride with the previous novel, and now this book, showcasing Charlotte Holmes and her friends very much in their own world, with only a few subtle nods to their origins as pastiches of the Sherlock Holmes novels. ![]() Historical Mystery published by Berkley 15 Oct 19 ![]() Stevie‘s review of The Art of Theft (Lady Sherlock, Book 4) by Sherry Thomas ![]()
