Typically, because these books have self-contained mysteries, I say that the books can be read out of order, but are better read in order. I did not mind it at all, but some readers might want to brush up on the prior books before diving into this one.ĬONNECTED BOOKS: MISS MORIARTY, I PRESUME? is the sixth book in the Lady Sherlock series. As a result, this book sometimes assumes knowledge about people and events from prior books. Not that the story directly continues from those books but rather this is a progression on the overarching storyline in the series.
WORTH MENTIONING: This is a densely packed story that really relies on the books that precede it. I read this kind of book again to catch what I missed the first time. I thought that once things were revealed, I appreciated the journey more. The mystery here has a lot of twists and turns, and the story keeps the reader guessing. And the story continues beyond this book, as is true with the entire series. Thankfully, the book does explain what happened. The book demands attention which I enjoy because I want to be involved in the mystery. Admittedly, it was hard to keep track of all these different issues, but that is part of the complexity of the story. There is a lot going on in this book as various threads of the investigation are going on. Readers of the series know that there have been some will they/won’t they in the previous books, but now we have moved on to see if this relationship can actually work.Īt the same time, the threat from Moriarty has become more acute. I freely admit that while I enjoy a good mystery, I keep coming back to these books because of the relationship between Charlotte and Ingram. OPINION: This book ended up being completely enjoyable because the relationship between Charlotte and Lord Ingram has *finally* progressed. Charlotte’s sister and Lord Ingram investigate the clue left by the man Livia loves (who is controlled by Moriarty).
Watson travel to investigate Moriarty’s daughter’s disappearance. Charlotte cannot refuse, but she wonders why Moriarty has come to her and whether she is being set up. THE STORY: Charlotte Holmes’s new client is none other than Moriarty, who wants Charlotte to find out what has happened to his daughter. My favorite part of the series is the romance, which is well represented here. My favorite part is how the relationship between Holmes and Ingram is shown throughout the book. FINAL DECISION: I loved this book because it brings a lot of loose threads in the series together.
