The Last of August is a fine sequel to A Study in Charlotte. Like most sequels, it struggles to live up to the promises of its predecessor. Jamie's voice, the strongest aspect of the writing, keeps up its fun and engaging qualities. August is a cool and interesting character. But the mystery and its consequences were much less engaging, for whatever reason. Maybe it was doing too much? 

I'll still probably read the other two, since I have them.
