The hotly anticipated final book in the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes trilogy, in which Charlotte and Jamie finally face their longtime enemy…and their true feelings for each other.

It’s been a year since the shocking death of August Moriarty, and Jamie and Charlotte haven’t spoken. Jamie is going through the motions at Sherringford, trying to finish his senior year without incident, with a nice girlfriend he can’t seem to fall for. Until strange things start happening to him. Strange things that might mean nothing at all—or that someone is after him again.

Charlotte is on the run, from Lucien Moriarty and from her own mistakes. No one has seen her since that fateful night on the lawn in Sussex. Charlotte wants it that way. She knows she isn’t safe to be around. She knows that her Watson can’t forgive her.

Holmes and Watson may not be looking to reconcile, but there is someone who wants the team back together. Someone who has been quietly observing them both. Making plans. Biding their time. Someone who wants to see one of them suffer and the other one dead.

In this final explosive book in the Charlotte Holmes trilogy, Holmes and Watson face the ultimate test: they must unravel the case of their lives without unraveling each other. 

Why I can't wait for this one!

Okay, so I didn't enjoy the second novel in this series quite as much as I had the first one, but still, the characters are GREAT, and really, I'm now thinking that I should reread the second novel, and give it another chance. After all, I ADORE Sherlock Holmes retellings, and this series presents a very imaginative, fascinating take on the famous detective and his sidekick -- through their modern-day descendants, who become romantically involved, as well as partners in solving crimes. Besides, I LOVE that Cavallaro has made Holmes' great-great-great granddaughter as brilliant and quirky a detective as her legendary ancestor! So yes, I'm ALL IN for this one!!
