Overview

The first book in a witty, suspenseful new series about a brilliant new crime-solving duo: the teen descendants of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. This clever page-turner will appeal to fans of Maureen Johnson and Ally Carter.

Jamie Watson has always been intrigued by Charlotte Holmes; after all, their great-great-great-grandfathers are one of the most infamous pairs in history. But the Holmes family has always been odd, and Charlotte is no exception. She's inherited Sherlock's volatility and some of his vices--and when Jamie and Charlotte end up at the same Connecticut boarding school, Charlotte makes it clear she's not looking for friends.

But when a student they both have a history with dies under suspicious circumstances, ripped straight from the most terrifying of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Jamie can no longer afford to keep his distance. Danger is mounting and nowhere is safe--and the only people they can trust are each other.

  • I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

    Angela T. - 4 years ago

    Sherlock Holmes has been back in style lately, so when I saw A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro, a young adult twist on the old Arthur Conan Doyle stories, I wasnt all that surprised. I was surprised, however, at how much I enjoyed this new take on the Holmes/Watson adventures. Jamie Watson was not happy to leave England, but he knew that coming to this particular Connecticut boarding school would offer a silver lining. Charlotte Holmes the great-great-great granddaughter of the infamous Sherlock was enrolled there. Jamie named for his own great-great-great grandfather, Dr. James Watson had always harbored a secret fantasy of becoming best friends with Charlotte and, like their celebrated ancestors, becoming famed for solving impossible crimes. After some initial awkwardness, the pair become genuine friends, but Jamie expected Charlotte to be a secretive, addicted, obsessive mess, and he certainly hadnt expected someone with a nasty grudge to frame her and by association, him for murder. When classmates are attacked, all the evidence points to them, but Holmes and Watson are on the case, and the culprit cant stay hidden for long under Charlotte Holmes astute deductions!
