First, Charlotte’s half brother disappears. Then, Lady Ingram, the estranged wife of Charlotte’s close friend Lord Ingram, turns up dead on his estate. And all signs point to Lord Ingram as the murderer.With Scotland Yard closing in, Charlotte goes under disguise to seek out the truth. But uncovering the truth could mean getting too close to Lord Ingram—and a number of malevolent forces.

Goodreads review by Navessa on September 04, 2019

I would literally give my first born up for an early copy of this book. I don't even like kids that much anyway.......more

Goodreads review by Holly on October 17, 2018

This is the third in The Lady Sherlock series. We don't have a Sherlock Holmes, but we have Charlotte Holmes - the female sleuth who heads up the investigations. She also has a female sidekick, Mrs. Watson. The gender switch from Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson worked well and made this one even more......more

This was an atmospheric captivating story that made me want to say, “Elementary my dear Mrs. Watson.” This is the third installment in the Lady Sherlock series... admittedly I was a little confused in the beginning, having not read the first two books in this Series... because from what I understand......more

How fun to review an atmospheric mystery for Halloween! 👻 🎃 🕷 🎃 I love the idea behind this series! Female companions Holmes and Watson during the Victorian era- how fun! This is the third installment in the Lady Sherlock series, and while I feel this can be read as a stand-alone, I think my experie......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on January 13, 2019

Women in Victorian literature were often depicted as a frail creature whose only goal in life was to wed an acceptable man and retire to a life of parties, balls, dinner and teas.

Quotes

“The mystery at the novel’s heart is compelling…but it’s once again the author’s incisive and compassionate glimpses at how women survive the strictures of misogyny that place the book a cut above the rest.” Austin Chronicle

“This spell-binding tale is the third in the Lady Sherlock Historical Mysteries and is even better (if possible) than the last.” Suspense Magazine

“Charlotte Holmes’ cover is nothing if not impressive: far more than being the great detective’s amanuensis, she is the embodiment of ‘Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective’ to her clients.” Criminal Element

“This is the smartest and most engrossing Lady Sherlock book yet, becoming more and more harrowing as we get nearer to the true killer. Besides the twisty and Sherlockian nature of the mystery, Hollow is delightfully cheeky when it plays with the romance between Charlotte and Ingram and heartwarming in the affection between Charlotte and her sisters…Thomas has written the Sherlock I’ve always wanted, and I can’t wait to for the next one.” BookRiot

“A novel in which you cannot wait to find out what happens next—even as you do not want it to end. For everyone who wants their mysteries spiced with plentiful twists and a delicious dose of sexual chemistry.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Atmospheric and leisurely paced, with careful development of an elaborate story line, the title also offers a thought-provoking view of the expectations and roles of women in Victorian England.” Library Journal
