THE LAST OF AUGUST Charlotte Holmes, Book 2

Brilliant, intrepid Charlotte Holmes and ardent, pragmatic Watson are back in a second installment of Cavallaro's charming mystery series. Graham Halstead's sharp, earnest narration as Watson lends urgency and introspection to the adventurous prose. Holmes and Watson attempt to solve a disappearance and protect themselves from threats at every step. A varying pace lends gentleness to intimate moments between dear friends, then quickens as danger and intrigue propel the mystery forward. While Halstead narrates the bulk of the story, Julia Whelan's crisp, somber interlude provides valuable insight into Charlotte Holmes. The characters are complex, conflicted, and engaging; their journey, engaging and suspenseful. K.S.B. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2017]
