Yes, but why would you when the whole series is a cornucopia of mystery Victorian goodness. I highly recommend starting from the beginning if possible. Does this book start out a bit slow? Not really, not compared to previous Holmes books.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Of course, where we last left <strong>Charlotte<\/strong>, she had narrowly avoided death. Her closest companions were forced to stay away from her to help keep Moriarty off her scent. Now Charlotte\u2019s seeking a way to get rid of Moriarty for good and save the people she cares about in return. In order to do so, she\u2019s roped into a reconnaissance mission aboard a sea-faring vessel headed for the Mediterranean. When a murder happens aboard the ship, threatening her mission and the people she cares for, Charlotte has no choice but to solve the murder without getting her identity unmasked in the process.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Talk about complexity after complexity. <strong>Thomas<\/strong> wowed me in this book, from the logistics of mapping out an entire story on a ship and knowing where everyone is at any given time to the mystery itself with several wrinkles. Often when I watch\/read thrillers or mysteries, I always find myself solving the murder before we get to the end. What\u2019s refreshing about the Lady Sherlock series is that even when you think you know what\u2019s happening, there are always several pieces that, when revealed, surprise me. This book was no exception.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Add in familiar characters like Charlotte\u2019s sister, her friend Mrs. Watson, and even her closest confidant Lord Ingram and it becomes a story you just sink into with gusto. It was hard to focus on work or other duties when encountering this book (Note: That\u2019s typical with me and Sherry Thomas&#8217;s stories).<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, it\u2019s a mystery worth reading, and I, for one, can\u2019t wait for the next book. Though I really want to know when Lady Sherlock is coming to the big screen.<\/p><p><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_3il3155 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mXIeS3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/42d62BA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/a-tempest-at-sea-sherry-thomas\/1141116021?ean=9780593200605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/a-tempest-at-sea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sherry_Thomas_A_Tempest_at_Sea?id=ot9iEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After feigning her own death in Cornwall to escape from Moriarty\u2019s perilous attention, Charlotte Holmes goes into hiding.

Yes, but why would you when the whole series is a cornucopia of mystery Victorian goodness. I highly recommend starting from the beginning if possible. Does this book start out a bit slow? Not really, not compared to previous Holmes books.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Of course, where we last left <strong>Charlotte<\/strong>, she had narrowly avoided death. Her closest companions were forced to stay away from her to help keep Moriarty off her scent. Now Charlotte\u2019s seeking a way to get rid of Moriarty for good and save the people she cares about in return. In order to do so, she\u2019s roped into a reconnaissance mission aboard a sea-faring vessel headed for the Mediterranean. When a murder happens aboard the ship, threatening her mission and the people she cares for, Charlotte has no choice but to solve the murder without getting her identity unmasked in the process.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Talk about complexity after complexity. <strong>Thomas<\/strong> wowed me in this book, from the logistics of mapping out an entire story on a ship and knowing where everyone is at any given time to the mystery itself with several wrinkles. Often when I watch\/read thrillers or mysteries, I always find myself solving the murder before we get to the end. What\u2019s refreshing about the Lady Sherlock series is that even when you think you know what\u2019s happening, there are always several pieces that, when revealed, surprise me. This book was no exception.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Add in familiar characters like Charlotte\u2019s sister, her friend Mrs. Watson, and even her closest confidant Lord Ingram and it becomes a story you just sink into with gusto. It was hard to focus on work or other duties when encountering this book (Note: That\u2019s typical with me and Sherry Thomas's stories).<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, it\u2019s a mystery worth reading, and I, for one, can\u2019t wait for the next book. Though I really want to know when Lady Sherlock is coming to the big screen.<\/p><p><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mXIeS3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/42d62BA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/a-tempest-at-sea-sherry-thomas\/1141116021?ean=9780593200605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/a-tempest-at-sea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sherry_Thomas_A_Tempest_at_Sea?id=ot9iEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30001"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30001\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30012,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30001\/revisions\/30012"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
