In the second brilliant, action-packed book in the Charlotte Holmes series, Jamie Watson and Charlotte Holmes are in a chase across Europe to untangle a web of shocking truths about the Holmes and Moriarty families. Jamie and Charlotte are looking for a winter break reprieve in Sussex after a fall semester that almost got them killed. But nothing about their time off is proving simple, including Holmes and Watson's growing feelings for each other. When Charlotte's beloved Uncle Leander goes missing from the Holmes estate - after being oddly private about his latest assignment in a German art forgery ring - the game is afoot once again, and Charlotte throws herself into a search for answers. So begins a dangerous race through the gritty underground scene in Berlin and glittering art houses in Prague, where Holmes and Watson discover that this complicated case might change everything they know about their families, themselves, and each other.

Interesting, still not sold though

I'm still mulling over this series. Is it good or bad? I really don't know. Personally the actual mystery bits are confusing to me, I don't understand the connections that are made at all, but that might be my reading speed tripping me up. But the good parts were the interpersonal relationships. They're fascinating to watch develop, especially through characters that have been redone a million times. That's what this series has going for it, especially as Charlotte's actions are often hard to understand. I was very excited to read several chapters in her point of view, and it really turned a substandard book into a far more interesting one. Understanding her PTSD, obsessive nature, and how she was raised gives a whole new view on the series. I know I'm going to read the rest, but I'm so worried it will be a sad ending!

The First Book Was Better

Since I loved the first book so much, I had high hopes going into this sequel. Sadly, I was disappointed. The characters maintained interesting throughout the whole story, and I loved seeing different relationship dynamics flourish. However, I feel that this book tried way too hard to achieve a complex mystery plot line to the point where a lot of the story was overly embellished and didn’t really tie together in the end. The conclusion was very unsatisfying, but I hope the third book is better.
