A Question of Holmes

Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson have graduated from Sherringford, and for once nobody is chasing them. A pre-college summer program at Oxford gives them freedom and a fresh start. The only puzzle they mean to settle is what they are to each other.

The quiet does not last. A year earlier, a run of accidents hit the Oxford theater program, and it ended when a young woman vanished on the evening of a big show. The case has gone cold, and no one has solved it.

No one is talking, least of all the missing girl's peculiar, close-knit group of friends. Charlotte is drawn in at once. When she and Jamie join the theater program, the accidents start up again, and they have no choice but to commit to the investigation.

This is the final book in the Charlotte Holmes series, a mystery with a young adult cast and a campus setting. As friendship, love and loyalty tangle among the suspects and between the two leads, time runs short, and a tragedy looks set to happen on opening night.
