This captivating novel reimagines the iconic Sherlock Holmes as a brilliant and unconventional woman, Charlotte Holmes. Published in 2016, the book offers a fresh and feminist perspective on the classic detective genre.

Charlotte Holmes, unlike her male counterpart, must navigate the societal constraints placed upon women in the 19th century. To pursue her passion for solving mysteries, she adopts the persona of a consulting detective, cleverly using her gender to her advantage. Her sharp intellect and keen observation skills are just as formidable as the original Sherlock, but she also possesses a unique understanding of human nature, particularly the nuances of female relationships.

The story unfolds with a series of mysterious deaths that baffle Scotland Yard. Charlotte, using her network of informants and her disguise, begins her own investigation, uncovering a web of secrets and deceit. The novel masterfully blends elements of classic mystery with social commentary, exploring themes of gender inequality, societal expectations, and the power of female agency.
