“I am a queen upon this board, Charlotte had once told Lord Ingram, and I do not play to lose.”
Miss Moriarty, I Presume?
Miss Moriarty, I Presume? by Sherry Thomas is the sixth book in the Lady Sherlock series. This book starts with a bang! Charlotte’s next client is none other than her arch-nemesis, Moriarty himself. His visit means danger, he knows who Charlotte is, and he knows her loved ones, so she has no choice but to help him. He has asked Charlotte to locate his daughter who was last known to be in an occult community. She must ensure his daughter’s welfare, but does his daughter want to be found?
YESSSSSSS! This is the story I have been waiting for!! It is filled with intrigue, mystery, and the occult. Charlotte meets her match with Miss Moriarty. While Miss Moriarty doesn’t want to be like her father, she has no qualms doing whatever it takes to get out of his grip.
Everything that has bugged me in previous books is nonexistent in this book–AKA the constant reference to Maximum Tolerable Chins and I can’t tell you what a relief this is! It felt like I was reading an entirely different series just with the same characters with more depth and development. There is one comment about how Charlotte needs to cut back on eating baked goods and she has the wittiest comeback that I actually appreciated!
But the best part…is that ending. Sweet Baby Jesus that ending is everything. It is clever and so entertaining. This book can’t be read as a standalone. There are details to this mystery that are linked to other books. So I highly recommend going through the whole series, even if some of the books are not up to the same standard as this book. It is all worth it!
And Kate Reading—she is just a master of her craft and I can’t imagine anyone else narrating this book. This book gets 5 out of 5 stars!
