A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

🔍 The game is afoot—this time, at prep school.
In A Study in Charlotte, Brittany Cavallaro reimagines the iconic Sherlock Holmes legacy for a new generation. When Jamie Watson—descendant of Dr. John Watson—is sent to a Connecticut boarding school, he doesn’t expect to meet Charlotte Holmes, brilliant and volatile great-great-great-granddaughter of the legendary detective. He also doesn’t expect to become a suspect in a murder.
When a fellow student is found dead—killed in a way eerily reminiscent of the Holmes and Watson stories—Charlotte and Jamie must join forces to find the real killer and clear their names. But secrets run deep, and Charlotte has demons of her own.
Dark, witty, and compulsively readable, A Study in Charlotte launches a clever YA mystery series full of nods to classic Holmes while building something uniquely modern and suspenseful.
