Murder on Cold Street by Sherry ThomasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 out of 5 stars - I'll tell you to read it, if you ask me
I really enjoyed reading this book about Charlotte Holmes. This is the first book in the series that I have read, but it is book #5 in the Lady Sherlock series. I look forward to going back to read more about how we got to the current state of things.
Charlotte Holmes claims to be Sherlock's sister, but in reality there is no Sherlock to speak of. She works "on his behalf, as he is an invalid", mainly because she knows most would not work with a woman detective.
In this story, Charlotte is faced with helping her friend, Inspector Treadles, to determine who killed the 2 men with whom he had locked himself in a room. The men worked with his wife, who had recently taken over managing the family business.
The story had several twists and turns, and I really enjoyed the side jaunts that you thought might lead somewhere, but weren't the answer!
