    About this ebook

    From Claire O’Dell, comes the second in the series and a fresh re-imagination of Sherlock Holmes, in which Dr. Janet Watson and former covert agent Sarah Holmes, continue their investigation into the new American Civil War with the help of new allies, advanced technology, and deduction.

    Dr. Janet Watson and covert agent Sara Holmes, introduced in the acclaimed A Study in Hour, continue their dangerous investigation into the new American Civil War with the help of fresh allies, advanced technology, and brilliant deduction in this superb reimagining of Sherlock Holmes.

    It's been two months since Dr. Janet Watson accepted an offer from Georgetown University Hospital. The training for her new high-tech arm is taking longer than expected, however, leaving her in limbo. Meanwhile, her brilliant friend and compatriot, Sara Holmes, has been placed on leave--punishment for going rogue during their previous adventure.

    After an extremist faction called the Brotherhood of Redemption launched a failed assassination attempt on the president that caused mass destruction, Holmes, who is now operating in the shadows, takes on the task of investigating the Brotherhood. Holmes is making progress when she abruptly disappears.

    When Watson receives a mysterious message from Holmes's cousin Micha that indicates that Sara Holmes’ disappearance might be connected to the Brotherhood and to Adler Industries, Watson and Micha go on a high-stakes mission to reunite with Holmes once more.

    Together, Watson, Holmes and Micha embark on a thrilling, action-packed journey through the deep South to clear Holmes’s name, thwart the Brotherhood's next move, and most important, bring their nemesis to justice for the atrocities she's committed in the New Civil War.

    Claire O'Dell

    Claire O'Dell grew up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., in the years of the Vietnam War and the Watergate Scandal. She attended high school just a few miles from the house where Mary Surratt once lived and where John Wilkes Booth planned for Lincoln to die. All this might explain why she spent so much time in the history and political science departments at college. Claire currently lives in Manchester, Connecticut, with her family and two idiosyncratic cats.

    • 4/5
      Deeper into the new civil war, not as good or as wrenching as the first book.
    • 4/5
      I received this book without charge from Goodreads in exchange for an unbiased review.The events of this book follow closely on the heels of the previous story, A Study in Honor. Dr. Janet Watson is adjusting to her new prosthetic arm, provided to her as a result of her actions in the previous book, and trying to requalify to perform surgery at Georgetown University Hospital. Meanwhile, her roommate, Sara Holmes, is on the trail of Nadine Adler, believed dead - only Homes seems to doubt the evidence. When a bombing in Washington by the New Confederacy during the presidential inauguration misses its main target but causes numerous deaths and injuries, Watson, is pressed back into service. This results in conflicts with hospital personnel, and another mystery; the unexplained deaths of recently discharged patients who appeared to be on their way to recovery. As Watson begins to develop a personal relationship with the owner of a bookstore where she had been browsing on the day of the bombing, Holmes disappears. Then comes the summons - a surgeon is needed across the border, inside the New Confederacy. Is Watson willing to risk her job, her security and possibly her life? The why and for whom make up the last third of the book, with most of the questions tied up but still room for O'Dell (an open pseudonym of Beth Bernobich) to perform trilogy.Given that this is (probably) a middle book, it suffers from the faults of many middle books in a trilogy. There's a lot of back fill for those who haven't read the first book. Lots of time is spent on actions that don't really move the plot along. Other items, like Watson's presentation at a medical conference, are introduced, then abandoned, and tied up neatly in a few pages in the last chapters. Many new characters are introduced, some of whom will no doubt feature prominently in the next volume. I'm especially looking forward to seeing how O'Dell develops her version of Mycroft Holmes. Since the timing of the book is an unspecified but relatively near-future year (a tunnel is mentioned as having been dug in 2018, and our current president is remembered with less than fond feelings), the political messages seemed at times to outweigh the mystery. O'Dell acknowledges she is writing "the other" and there are times it seems as if she wants to show how much she learned. But the book reads very quickly and held my interest throughout. As a Holmesian, I'm always looking forward to a new take on the characters, and O'Dell has certainly managed to invent a new interpretation that may have legs beyond the first three books. Recommended.
