As "Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective," Charlotte Holmes has solved murders and found missing individuals. But she has never stolen a priceless artwork—or rather, made away with the secrets hidden behind a much-coveted canvas.
But Mrs. Watson is desperate to help her old friend recover those secrets and Charlotte finds herself involved in a fever-paced scheme to infiltrate a glamorous Yuletide ball where the painting is one handshake away from being sold and the secrets a bare breath from exposure.
Her dear friend Lord Ingram, her sister Livia, Livia's admirer Stephen Marbleton—everyone pitches in to help and everyone has a grand time. But nothing about this adventure is what it seems and disaster is biding time on the grounds of a glittering French chateau, waiting only for Charlotte to make a single mistake...
Another amazingly inventive Lady Sherlock book. I love Charlotte so much, but was glad that this book featured all the other beloved characters. Olivia has really grown on me throughout the books. I loved that the setting of this volume moved out of England and into Paris. A change of scenery is often jus the thing for a series. And oh my, the twists and turns of this one were great. After all the revelations, I can’t wait to see what happens next.
