Book Review: THE HOLLOW OF FEAR (Lady Sherlock # 3) by Sherry Thomas


"Why only one croissant when she can have three instead?"

Why only read one Lady Sherlock novel when you can read three... Or four?!

Lady Sherlock is baaaaaaack with Book # 3, which I think is the best (thus far) in the series! Our favorite intellectual heroine-who-diets-when-she-has-reached-the-Maximum-Number-of-Tolerable-Chins returns, and once again, Sherry Thomas absolutely SLAYS with her skillful use of language, well-constructed plot, and pages that SHIMMER with passion eloquently parsed!

The stakes are higher. The big reveals are … BIGGER! And I love that characters and events from previous novels are brought forth, taking on even greater importance. It shows just how much thought and care went into the planning of this alternate universe where Sherlock is a lady, in a time when women were not as free as men.

This book will appeal to lovers of mystery and romance, and again, no one does *kilig* quite like Sherry Thomas.

“It didn’t matter what kind of seas they sailed, warm, cold, smooth, or choppy. It didn’t matter where they were headed, empty wilderness or teeming metropolises. It mattered only that they were together at last.”

*sigh*

With something that will light up both your dead-cold-heart and your mind, this book (and this series) is a winner! And hurrayness, Book 4 just came out this month!

(Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars)
