Thomas imagines Sherlock Holmes as Charlotte, a cross-dressing, fallen woman amidst the puritanical strictures of Victorian England, who uses her troubling powers of detection and frighteningly incisive intellect to solve convoluted mysteries full of dastardly nemeses and plots within plots. It never offered that romance punch of happiness and rightness, but it was a worthy read nonetheless.įor those unfamiliar with Thomas’s series, she sets up her Victorian female detective as a sly critique of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. It took me days and days to read Hollow, buffeted as I was by day-job issues. ![]() Have the first two on audio and once again, I’ve had to relearn that my ability to listen to audiobooks is severely limited. ![]()
