An interesting take on the "Final Problem". I wonder if there will be a next book and what that will entail...

I really enjoyed the earlier books in this series, but the last few installments have been a struggle. I felt nothing significant happened in terms of character development and furtherance of the series. I will likely try one more installment before calling it quits.

The 6th volume in the Lady Sherlock series does not disappoint. Charlotte Holmes, Mrs. Watson, and Lord Ingram are locked in a subtle (and sometimes, not so subtle) battle with Moriarty. After he comes back from the events of the last book, he (as Mr. Baxter) employs them to investigate the Garden of Hermopolis where his estranged daughter makes her home. I loved the inclusion of Miss Baxter and how she tied into the overarching mystery surrounding the series. I also enjoyed how Mr. Marbleton was involved and the general code-breaking involved. I always cheer for Livia when she escapes her parents and contributes to the solving of the mystery.
The characters remain interesting, flawed, and relatable. The setting is interesting and you can see it as you read Ms. Thomas's description. Another great read - and I can't wait for the next one!
