Jamie Watson has been sent to a private school in New England after his mother was unable to continue paying for his schooling in England. There, he meets Charlotte Holmes, the descendant of the great Sherlock Holmes. When a common enemy is found dead on school ground, Jamie and Charlotte are forced to work together to clear their names. Based on one of the most famous classic murder-mystery (in conjunction with Murders on the Rue Morgue and Hercules Poirot of course!), A Study in Charlotte is a must-read for those who love retellings and significantly less graphic mysteries.
