The Lady Sherlock series by Sherry Thomas has become a favorite. I look forward to each audiobook release. A Ruse of Shadows is the eighth audiobook in the Lady Sherlock series narrated by Kate Reading. This time, Charlotte finds herself the number one suspect in the murder of Lord Bancroft. Twists, suspense, danger and more await you.....
Squee! I love Thomas's take on Sherlock and love Scarlett and her motley crew of friends. After the events on board RMS Provence, Charlotte's back on dry land and growing out her locks. She has also been looking for ways to foil Moriarty plans.
Charlotte, alas, is pressed into service by none other than Lord Bancroft Ashburton. Bancroft remains behind prison walls, thanks to Scarlett. However, his man, Underwood, has gone missing, and she's tasked with finding him. Lord Bancroft won't take no for an answer. Unfortunately, he is very persuasive.
The tale that unfolds held me captive from interviewing Underwood's girlfriend to murders from long ago. When Lord Bancroft ends up dead, the police detective believes Charlotte guilty of the crime. The mystery was well done with clever twists, danger and pulse-pounding action that kept me listening.
We had a little page time with Lord Ingram, Charlotte's love interest. While not as much as I would have liked, each moment was delicious with sweet confessions.
I was delighted by the way Thomas brought the threads together and revealed the events as they actually happened. A clever tale that left me eager for the next book. Perfect for fans of clever protagonists, fans of Sherlock Holmes and murder mysteries.
