A cold case at Oxford

Set during Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson’s summer program at Oxford, the series finale brings their partnership into a theater program shadowed by a student’s disappearance. A year after the young woman vanished on the night of a major performance, a string of accidents begins again when Holmes and Watson join the group. The investigation unfolds amid a close-knit circle of friends who are reluctant to talk, while the detectives’ own relationship becomes part of what they must confront. The book combines a modern take on the Holmes-and-Watson tradition with a cold-case mystery and questions of friendship, love, and loyalty.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young adult readers interested in detective fiction and cold-case mysteries.
  • Readers following the Charlotte Holmes series, especially those seeking its concluding installment.
  • Fans of modern Sherlock Holmes retellings and mysteries set around a theater program.

Book overview

In the explosive conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series, Holmes and Watson think they're finally in the clear after graduating from Sherringford...but danger awaits in the hallowed halls of Oxford.

Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson finally have a chance to start over. With all the freedom their pre-college summer program provides and no one on their tail, the only mystery they need to solve, once and for all, is what they are to each other.

But upon their arrival at Oxford, Charlotte is immediately drawn into a new case: a series of accidents befell the theater program at Oxford last year, culminating in a young woman going missing on the night of a major performance.

The mystery has gone unsolved; the case is cold. And no one--least of all the girl's peculiar, close-knit group of friends--is talking.

When Watson and Holmes join the theater program, the "accidents" start anew, giving them no choice but to throw themselves into the case. But as the complicated lines of friendship, love, and loyalty blur, time is running out--and tragedy waits in the wings.
