A Question of Holmes by Brittany Cavallaro

4.0

I started this series when I was like 15 and finished it five years later still enjoying it the way I did when I was 15. I love the story of Charlotte and Jamie and the way it progresses form book one to book four, all the changes they go through individually and together. This did feel like a conclusion to a book series but with enough open-endedness for the author to possibly write more books in this universe if she wishes to. For me, because of the nostalgia, I would have liked this book no matter what the plot was or the conclusion. Despite feeling very slow, I enjoyed the dynamic of Holmes and Watson. Though it was a lesser mystery than the previous ones, it did feel like we were closing up the story, both in the book and in Holmes's life, and I understand why. My only issue was with how some parts of Holmes's inner monologue felt repetitive, and I would have liked more in the epilogue. Other than that, I liked it very much and will always enjoy rereading this series.
