![]() ![]() 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.
