We will look for a good murder or, at the very least, an interesting heist to solve. Watson will say yes, I‘m sure of it. He always says yes to me.

bailedI had high hopes for this retelling of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Bailing because half way through I find I have no connection with either the new Holmes or Watson. The relationship didn't make sense.

pickI‘d long listed this ages ago but was confused that it wasn‘t available in kindle and forgot about it. I ended up Ordering it to be my classic retelling for #booked2023 and am a bit confused about how I feel. On one hand I liked the idea of descendants of Sherlock and Watson finding each other and solving crimes but found the family backstories frankly a bit odd. The crimes were well replicated and told afresh and whilst liking Charlotte 👇

pickWhy is it I overslept yesterday when I had to be at work and was up at the crack of dawn today when I didn‘t have to be anywhere until 10? Oh well it gave me time to finish this fun mystery featuring the descendants of Watson and Holmes solving mysteries at a Connecticut boarding school. #20in4 #Sharreadathon
pickSuch a great book for anyone who loves the classic Sherlock Holmes stories! I love a good mystery!
The first time I met her was at the tail end of one of those endless weekday nights you could only have at a school like Sherringford.

panI was a bit disappointed how Holmes and Watson in this book were exact duplicates of their great-great-great-grandfathers. Romance was unnecessary and unbelievable. We all know what S. Holmes used but it isn't endearing to read about a teenager in modern world using drugs.
Setting was nice but this wasn't really thrilling.
I think this was overall just too unbelievable for me. Okay read but flat.

pickI don‘t really know what to say. I really enjoyed this book and it makes me want to read more Sherlock Holmes stories than I have. I love the relationship between this version of Watson and Holmes and think their dynamic is absolutely brilliant. The story and mystery was so well written, I never could have guessed the ending. (Side note: I loved the last chapter and the way it made it feel as though the characters are real)
5⭐️
Watson will say yes, I‘m sure of it. He always says yes to me.
“Jamie.”
“Charlotte.”
“Do come home soon. It won‘t be London without you.”
“You never knew me in London,” I said, smiling.
“I know.” Holmes looked down at me with gleaming eyes. “I intend to fix that.”
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.
“I wanted to see how much this foolish boy trusted you. I threaten him, and you kiss him. Cue strings. Cue the applause.”
“How could you know that for sure?”
(…)
“Because, right now, you look furious,” Holmes said. “So thanks for the confirmation.”
“I may, in fact be a terrible person at heart, but the difference between you and me is that I fight it. With every single atom of my being I fight against it.”
When our eyes met, there was a kind of confused electricity there, like we‘d broken up and simultaneously exchanged vows.
“I know you don‘t need me, any fool could see that, but we are in this together. I will be here, until it‘s over. You…you‘re the most important thing to me, and I can‘t imagine being without you, but it the moment it‘s over, you want to send me away, I will, I‘ll go—”
Her sad eyes and her sharp tongue and the way she touched my shoulder when she thought I wasn‘t listening.
I was always listening.
“You have about two and a half seconds,“ I said, “before the police brutality begins.“
She gave me a feral look. “I only needed one.“
“Normal people eat lunch, and so, for these five minutes, we are going to be normal. After that, you‘re free to tell me who‘s framing us for murder.”
“I‘m making tea,” she said unnecessarily. “So many English people. It seemed like the thing to do.”
“Watsons might be stubborn,” he‘d told me when I was younger, “but we temper it with a love of adventure.”
“Though you‘re handsome, you‘re no tortured artist. More of a wiry librarian.” She thought for a moment. “I suppose that‘s not all bad.”
I belonged here, I thought, with her, as surely as anyone belonged anywhere.
“Like you said, you can take care of yourself,” I told her, finally. “If you‘d murdered him, I bet there would be twenty witnesses who saw him put the gun to his own head.”
“Do you know, at first I thought you came here to accuse me of it.”
[…]
There were a lot of answers to that not-question: I‘m a Watson, it‘s genetically impossible for me to suspect you or, In my imagination, you weren‘t ever a villain, you were always the hero.
I had never wanted to be her boyfriend. I wanted something smaller than that, and far, far bigger, something I couldn‘t yet put into words.
“I don‘t need someone to fight for me. I can fight for myself.”
She was altogether colorless and severe, and still she managed to be beautiful. Not the way that girls are generally beautiful, but more like the way a knife catches the light, makes you want to take it in your hands.
“Don‘t tell me you‘re trying to set me up with my—“
“Your soul mate?”
Such a nice surprise came in the mail this morning. Robin Brock @robinb sent this to me unexpectedly as she was attempting to divest herself of some books ?. If she's anything like me, not many books would "disappear." ???
So thoughtful. ??
I love book mail.
pickLast read of 2021! I love most iterations of Holmes and a Charlotte is particularly appealing. This Charlotte and Watson are teenagers with adult vices and problems. I did need to set my usual credulousness aside to accept these behaviors and enjoy the story. Cue boarding school, fast friendship, a murder mystery and our intrepid H & W in peril. Success and survival are in doubt until the end. I 😍it. 2022 may be the year of YA. 4+⭐️
pickWhat a fun take on the Holmes and Watson duo that felt new and intriguing!

so-soMeh. I enjoyed the plot, but I didn‘t really love the characters. I feel one of the reasons Sherlock is such a good character is because he has no recognization of social cues, and I would have liked that to be reflected in Charlotte. I also think that the romance would have been better if it slowly formed over the course of the series. I still will be reading the next in the series to though. 3⭐️
pickThis is cute. It's a modern YA detective duo inspired by Sherlock Holmes.

so-so3.6 🌟
Love the premise of how the descendants of Sherlock and Watson are real in life. But for the most part of the book is quite boring, no real actions and I can't follow their search for evidence.

pickI didn‘t expect to like this so much.
James Watson is sent to boarding school in Connecticut. There, he meets Charlotte Holmes. They‘re descendants of Sherlock and Dr Watson. Charlotte learned her ancestor‘s skills at an early age.
When Watson defends her honor, and the boy in question ends up dead, they come together to solve the mystery. Lots of the same dynamics as the original, but with teenage hormones and angst thrown in.
