A Conspiracy In Belgravia
(Lady Sherlock, Book 2)
Trade Paperback, 336 pages
Berkley Books
September 5, 2017
Historical Fiction, Mystery,
Sherlock Holmes
The game is afoot as Charlotte Holmes returns in the atmospheric second novel in New York Times bestseller Sherry Thomas's Victorian-set Lady Sherlock series.
Being shunned by Society gives Charlotte Holmes the time and freedom to put her extraordinary powers of deduction to good use. As “Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective,” aided by the capable Mrs. Watson, she’s had great success helping with all manner of inquiries, but she’s not prepared for the new client who arrives at her Upper Baker Street office.
Lady Ingram, wife of Charlotte’s dear friend and benefactor, wants Sherlock Holmes to find her first love, who failed to show up at their annual rendezvous. Matters of loyalty and discretion aside, the case becomes even more personal for Charlotte as the missing man is none other than Myron Finch, her illegitimate half brother.
In the meanwhile, Charlotte wrestles with a surprising proposal of marriage, a mysterious stranger woos her sister Livia, and an unidentified body that surfaces where least expected. Charlotte’s investigative prowess is challenged as never before: Can she find her brother in time—or will he, too, end up as a nameless corpse somewhere in the belly of London?

Why I can't wait for this one!
OMG!! I'm an OBSESSED fan of Sherlock Holmes, and this author has turned him, and Holmes's faithful assistant, into women, which makes me even MORE interested in this book!!!
Here is a new adventure, yet another of the great detective's brilliant exploits, except that now, as it turns out, this brilliance is due to a female brain! Are you surprised to hear that I've already pre-ordered this novel? And I would have NEVER heard of it, had it not been for the FABULOUS Barb, who blogs over at Booker T's Farm: Books and Nails and Puppy Dog Tales!! Yes, I discovered this TERRIFIC book on Barb's "Stacking The Shelves"/"Sunday Post" post, which you can access HERE. Thanks SO much, Barb!!

Sherry Thomas writes both historical romance and young adult fantasy.
On the romance side, she is one of the most acclaimed authors working in the genre today, her books regularly receiving starred reviews and best-of-the-year honors from trade publications. She is also a two-time winner of Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA® Award.
On the young adult fantasy side, her debut book, The Burning Sky, book 1 of the Elemental Trilogy, has received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and been named to the Autumn ’13 Kids’ Indie Next List.
Sherry writes in her second language. She learned English by reading romance and science fiction—every word Isaac Asimov ever wrote, in fact. She is proud to say that her son is her biggest fanboy—for the YA fantasy, not the romances. At least, not yet…

I read "A Study In Charlotte" and LOVED it!! This one is slightly different, though, because Sherry Thomas turns Holmes & his assistant, Dr. Watson, into women. I KNOW I'm going to LOVE this book, and the first one, too!!
