What this book is about
The first Charlotte Holmes novel brings the descendants of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson to a Connecticut boarding school, where a student is murdered in a way that mirrors the original Holmes stories — and Charlotte and Jamie are the obvious suspects. Cavallaro writes clever YA mystery with genuine character depth; Charlotte's drug use and psychological complexity are central. Some dark content for the YA register.
