Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Today my pick is A Study in Charlotte, by Brittany Cavallaro, out March 2016 from Katherine Tegen Books.
From Goodreads:
The last thing sixteen-year-old Jamie Watsonβwriter and great-great-grandson of the John Watsonβwants is a rugby scholarship to Sherringford, a Connecticut prep school just an hour away from his estranged father. But thatβs not the only complication: Sherringford is also home to Charlotte Holmes, the famous detectiveβs enigmatic, fiercely independent great-great-granddaughter, whoβs inherited not just his genius but also his vices, volatile temperament, and expertly hidden vulnerability. Charlotte has been the object of his fascination for as long as he can rememberβbut from the moment they meet, thereβs a tense energy between them, and they seem more destined to be rivals than anything else.
Then a Sherringford student dies under suspicious circumstances ripped straight from the most terrifying of the Holmes stories, and Jamie and Charlotte become the prime suspects. Convinced theyβre being framed, they must race against the police to conduct their own investigation. As danger mounts, it becomes clear that nowhere is safe and the only people they can trust are each other.
Equal parts tender, thrilling, and hilarious, A Study in Charlotte is the first in a trilogy brimming with wit and edge-of-the-seat suspense.
I love that cover, and I’m totally a sucker for Sherlock Holmes stories. I have an e-galley of this one and I can’t wait to get reading!
What are you waiting on this week?
