In this book, we’re introduced to the descendents of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Jamie Watson has been given a rugby scholarship to the New England boarding school where Charlotte Holmes is already a student. They’ve never met, but he’s curious to meet her.
Their first meeting doesn’t go well, but it seems that a Holmes and a Watson in proximity have a sort of magnetic attraction, and they’re soon thick as thieves, and forced to defend themselves from accusations of murder.
I enjoyed this story. It’s definitely pitched for the YA audience, but doesn’t shy away from the some of the Holmes family’s less attractive characteristics. It’s got an interesting set up for future action.
