Praise for A Study in Scarlet Women
“Clever historical details and a top-shelf mystery add to the
winning appeal of this first volume in the ‘Lady Sherlock’ series.
A must-read for fans of historical mysteries.”—Library Journal
(starred review)
“RITA Award–winning romance writer Thomas has come up with a
completely new, brilliantly conceived take on the iconic detective.
She not only offers some clever changes to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s
cherished cast of characters, she also delivers a plot worthy of
the master at his best.”—Booklist
“Clever and absorbing. Thomas’s gorgeous prose and expert
characterizations shine in this new incarnation of Sherlock Holmes.
Readers will wait with baited breath to discover how Thomas will
skillfully weave in each aspect of the Sherlockian canon, and
devour the pages to learn how the mystery unfolds.”—Anna Lee Huber,
National Bestselling Author of the Lady Darby Mysteries
“Gender bending is just the first sign that unusual happenings are
afoot in this origin story for a revamped Sherlock Holmes series by
bestselling author Thomas...There is also a tantalizing, slow-burn
love story between Holmes and a longtime friend befitting Thomas'
skills as a romance novelist....The ground has been laid well for
future incidents in the professional and intimate life of Charlotte
Holmes.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Author Sherry Thomas didn’t just insert Charlotte into Sherlock’s
area of expertise, she made a character completely different from
the well-known man. Cute and blonde, Charlotte doesn’t have
Sherlock’s scorn for everyone. And because she is a lady in
Victorian England, Charlotte has to be creative in her
investigation in order to preserve the illusion of Sherlock Holmes
to the man on the street and the police. The various characters
introduced are quite interesting and the plotlines are great. This
is the first in the new Lady Sherlock series, and if this is any
clue, Charlotte and her continuing adventures will be thrilling to
read.”—Suspense Magazine
“Sherry Thomas is a master of her craft, and A Study in Scarlet
Women is an unqualified success: brilliantly executed, beautifully
written, and magnificently original—I want the next volume
now!”—Tasha Alexander, New York Times Bestselling Author of A
Terrible Beauty
