He shows up early enough (quite, quite early in fact) that it’s not a drawn out wait for the reader wondering when he’ll arrive. I think it’s rather unfortunate that the book description itself confirms that Moriarty is, indeed, in this book. With potentially two Moriarties on the board, will Charlotte be up to the task of outmaneuvering them all? She soon discovers that the apple does not fall far from the tree, and the disappeared Miss Moriarty seems to have had as many secrets and alternative motives as her dangerous sire. Watson head out to locate Moriarty’s wayward daughter, she’s on alert for signs of other purposes. But Charlotte suspects that Moriarty is rarely the type of man to not attempt to kill (perhaps quite literally) two birds with one stone. What she didn’t expect was for Moriarty himself to turn up on her doorstep, ostensibly to hire her for a job of his own. But with a Moriarty, if not the Moriarty referenced in the title, we had to finally see the character, now right?Ĭharlotte and her friends have known that Moriarty’s attention has been turning towards them for some time. “The Art of Theft” was the closet we got, and we still never actually saw the character on the page.
Moriarty has been a player in most all of the books so far, but he’s always been in the background. Review: I was extra excited for this book (beyond my typical excitement for any book by Sherry Thomas) when I saw the title. Previously Reviewed: “A Study in Scarlet Women” and “A Conspiracy in Belgravia” and “The Hollow of Fear” and “The Art of Theft” and “Murder on Cold Street” Is it merely to test Charlotte’s skills as an investigator, or has the man of shadows trapped her in a nest of vipers? And Charlotte’s longtime friend and ally Lord Ingram at last turns his seductive prowess on Charlotte–or is it the other way around?īut the more secrets Charlotte unravels about Miss Moriarty’s disappearance, the more she wonders why Moriarty has entrusted this delicate matter to her of all people. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s sister Livia tries to make sense of a mysterious message from her beau Mr. Watson travel to a remote community of occult practitioners where Moriarty’s daughter was last seen, a place full of lies and liars. Moriarty fears that tragedy has befallen his daughter and wants Charlotte to find out the truth.Ĭharlotte and Mrs. Publishing Info: Berkley Books, November 2021īook Description: A most unexpec ted client shows up at Charlotte Holmes’s doorstep: Moriarty himself.
