Murder on Cold Street
Book Feature - Murder on Cold Street by Sherry Thomas
HBL Note: I’m happy to be featuring a Sherry Thomas book once again. You might remember I featured The Art of Theft and interviewed Sherry Thomas last year. I was initially drawn to The Art of Theft because it featured some of my favorite topics: history and art. The latest novel in The Lady Sherlock Series is Murder on Cold Street. You can scroll down to read more OR you can read the first chapter, here!
Book Feature - Murder on Cold Street by Sherry Thomas
From the publisher:
Inspector Treadles, Charlotte Holmes’s friend and collaborator, has been found locked in a room with two dead men, both of whom worked with his wife at the great manufacturing enterprise she has recently inherited.
Rumors fly. Had Inspector Treadles killed the men because they had opposed his wife’s initiatives at every turn? Had he killed in a fit of jealous rage, because he suspected Mrs. Treadles of harboring deeper feelings for one of the men? To make matters worse, he refuses to speak on his own behalf, despite the overwhelming evidence against him.
Charlotte finds herself in a case strewn with lies and secrets. But which lies are to cover up small sins, and which secrets would flay open a past better left forgotten? Not to mention, how can she concentrate on these murders, when Lord Ingram, her oldest friend and sometime lover, at last dangles before her the one thing she has always wanted?
