This week’s neglected book
A Study in Scarlet Women
by Sherry Thomas
Narrated by Kate Reading
Series: Lady Sherlock #1
Publication Date: October 18, 2016
Publisher: Blackstone Audio
USA Today best-selling author Sherry Thomas turns the story of the renowned Sherlock Holmes upside down.
With her inquisitive mind, Charlotte Holmes has never felt comfortable with the demureness expected of the fairer sex in upper-class society. But even she never thought that she would become a social pariah, an outcast fending for herself on the mean streets of London.
When the city is struck by a trio of unexpected deaths and suspicion falls on her sister and her father, Charlotte is desperate to find the true culprits and clear the family name. She’ll have help from friends new and old, but in the end, it will be up to Charlotte, under the assumed name Sherlock Holmes, to challenge society’s expectations and match wits against an unseen mastermind.
Why did I add A Study in Scarlet Women to my bookshelf?
I have had this audiobook since May 2018 and still have not listened to it. I have seen so many good reviews for the series and I am pretty sure that I would really enjoy it just as much as everyone else seems to. I just need to find the time to get started. I own the first 2 books in the series and it looks like I can listen to the third one through Audible Plus (the first 3 books appear to be available in the program) so I should really make this a priority.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it to others?
Oh yes I did read this one but I don't remember if I liked it. I need to check my goodreads account
Neglected could be good ??
Yes try this, I am curious
I remember seeing this book when it first came out. I was really intrigued.
Hope you enjoyed this when you get to it!
Finding time or motivation or concentration to read is a real problem for me right now!
Nick is always talking about her love for this series. She almost has me wanting to check it out.
I also haven't read it yet! But it's also hiding there in my TBR…! It really does sound so good. I don't have a copy of it. I guess when I get one I might be more determined to read it!
Have a good weekend!

I listened to this on audio a couple years ago and remember that I enjoyed it. I'm not sure why I haven't continued on with the series. I hope you enjoy it.
