It does not attempt to go to new levels or explore new things. It is yet another version of a modern day Sherlock and it's hard to stand out when you go up directly against Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman (yes, I love BBC Sherlock!). My first thought is that this book, while not without some humourous moments, is simply not needed or different enough. Many years later, Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson find themselves caught up in some copycat crimes that appear to be framing the two, using scenes directly out of the old stories.

In this story, both Sherlock and Watson were real people and Arthur Conan Doyle was Watson's literary agent, who helped publish the tales of their cases. This was fun in parts, but it really didn't do for me what it seems to be doing for a lot of readers and critics.Ī Study in Charlotte follows the descendants of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson as they solve crimes on a modern-day college campus.
