My Review:
Reviewed by Laura Fabiani
I've always liked Sherlock Holmes, both as a kid when I was introduced to him through Arthur Conan Doyle's books and then through the British TV drama series on Netflix. I was curious and eager to dig into this new Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery series and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
I wasn't aware that Remember, Remember is actually Book #3 in the series, but these books can very well be read as stand-alone novels. I did not feel that I missed anything. Actually, because the main character lost her memory, it was even more of a mystery as to who she was, seeing that I had not read any of the previous books.
In this installment, the main character has amnesia and has to figure out who she is and why she feels that she's in danger. She meets a police detective and other memorable characters and as her memory slowly returns we unravel the mystery along with her. I love historical fiction and this book takes place in 19th century London. I was intrigued and pulled in right from the start and I loved Lucy's character. She was brilliant, brave and independent.
The dialogue is witty and both Sherlock and Lucy's deductive sleuthing is smart and fun. I was thoroughly entertained as I quickly read through the pages. The inclusion of 8-year-old street-smart Becky made the story touching even as it was action-filled and adventurous. The blossoming romance in the story did not overshadow the mystery element but enhanced the storyline, in my opinion.
I am so pleased to have discovered this entertaining cozy mystery series, that I am now looking forward to reading the rest of the books. If you like historical fiction, cozy mysteries and are a Sherlock Holmes fan, then this series is a perfect addition to your reading list.
