New Lady Sherlock

I was thinking when I was writing this that it doesn’t seem like that long since I last read a Lady Sherlock book, so I had a little look back – and I realised that although I wrote my original Series I Love post for Lady Sherlock as the last one came out in early 2023, I actually didn’t read it until the autumn – which probably explains why my brain was confused.

Anyway the eighth book in the series is out this week, and A Ruse of Shadows seems to be once again building on the events of some of the previous books in the series, so I’m going to say again, that this is a series that repays reading in order. In the previous book, A Tempest at Sea, Charlotte was on board ship trying to keep a low profile, in this new instalment we have someone that Charlotte’s investigations have put in prison asking for her help, so I’m intrigued to see how that works out and how it fits into the various running plot strands that we already have going on.

I’m also intrigued to see if my pre-ordered copy turns up and when – because the last few times it… has been erratic, so we’ll see what happens there! If you want to read the Lady Sherlock series, I do advise you to start with A Study in Scarlet Women, which is available in Kindle in the UK – which for some reason the latest one isn’t (yet). You can find a link to the whole series on Amazon here.
