The last thing sixteen-year-old Jamie Watson–writer and great-great-grandson of the John Watson–wants is a rugby scholarship to Sherringford, a Connecticut prep school just an hour away from his estranged father. But that’s not the only complication: Sherringford is also home to Charlotte Holmes, the famous detective’s enigmatic, fiercely independent great-great-granddaughter, who’s inherited not just his genius but also his vices, volatile temperament, and expertly hidden vulnerability. Charlotte has been the object of his fascination for as long as he can remember–but from the moment they meet, there’s a tense energy between them, and they seem more destined to be rivals than anything else.

Then a Sherringford student dies under suspicious circumstances ripped straight from the most terrifying of the Holmes stories, and Jamie and Charlotte become the prime suspects. Convinced they’re being framed, they must race against the police to conduct their own investigation. As danger mounts, it becomes clear that nowhere is safe and the only people they can trust are each other.

Equal parts tender, thrilling, and hilarious, A Study in Charlotte is the first in a trilogy brimming with wit and edge-of-the-seat suspense.

Se o Watson e o Sherlock fossem um casal?! 😶‍🌫️

Adorei, simplesmente. Coloquei esse título na resenha por que pra mim foi muito isso, a Charlotte Holmes tem mais semelhança com o Sherlock do que só o nome, ela também resolve mistérios, meio loba solitária, abusa das drogas... Da mesma forma, O Jamie Watson também se parece com o seu tatatata...vô, ele é um projetinho de escritor, com um coração enorme, fascinado pela Charlotte. A Charlotte falando sobre ele:

"A final note on Watson. He flagellates himself rather a lot, as this narrative shows. He shouldn't. He is lovely and warm and quite brave and a bit heedless of his own safety and by any measure the best man I've ever known."

Em alguns momentos eu fiquei muito confusa, do tipo, parecia que faltava coisa ali, explicação de como algo aconteceu, e eu acho mesmo que não foi por conta da língua, mas não dá pra ter certeza haha.

"Maybe Charlotte Holmes was still learning how to pick apart a case; maybe I was still learning how to write. We weren't Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. I was okay with that, I thought. We had things they didn't, too. Like electricity and refrigerators. And Mario Kart."

Enfim, fica a indicação, muito bom!
