Charlotte
Holmes, Lady Sherlock, is back solving new cases in the Victorian-set mystery
series from the USA Today bestselling author of The
Hollow of Fear.
As "Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective," Charlotte Holmes has solved murders and found missing individuals. But she has never stolen a priceless artwork—or rather, made away with the secrets hidden behind a much-coveted canvas.
But Mrs. Watson is desperate to help her old friend recover those secrets and Charlotte finds herself involved in a fever-paced scheme to infiltrate a glamorous Yuletide ball where the painting is one handshake away from being sold and the secrets a bare breath from exposure.
Her dear friend Lord Ingram, her sister Livia, Livia's admirer Stephen Marbleton—everyone pitches in to help and everyone has a grand time. But nothing about this adventure is what it seems and disaster is biding time on the grounds of a glittering French chateau, waiting only for Charlotte to make a single mistake...

My Thoughts…
I am sad to say
that I never read a Sherlock Holmes book or watched a movie with Sherlock
Holmes in it. I also didn’t read the
first 3 books in this series. Taking
all of that into consideration, I struggled at the beginning of this book to
keep the characters straight and to follow the story. I am happy to say that I didn’t give up and
I continued to read the book soon I was not wanting to stop reading, I wanted
to learn more about the characters, and see how the story would end.
The Art of
Theft is a wonderful historical mystery.
I love the setting of the Victorian Era. As I read, I was able to picture the
beautiful houses, the amazing characters, and was curious as to if they would
be able to help the Maharani. The
characters all work together, help each other, and never question if they
should be involved in the latest adventure.
