Sofia: “Even before starting this book I guessed one of the big things that happened at the end, but I did doubt it a bit throughout the book. The last 3 chapters were probably my favouite parts of the novel, since the action started to pick up more.” So to answer the second question, no … I did NOT see that coming at all. Jenna: “Honestly, I liked how I did NOT see it coming.
Without giving away spoilers, what were your thoughts? Were you expecting that outcome? Without further ado, here are our thoughts about The Last of August: What they learn might change everything they know about their families, themselves, and each other. But as they follow the gritty underground scene in Berlin to glittering art houses in Prague, Holmes and Watson begin to realize that this is a much more complicated case than a disappearance. Their first contact? August Moriarty (formerly Charlotte’s obsession, currently believed by most to be dead), whose powerful family has been ripping off famous paintings for the last hundred years. The game is afoot once again, and Charlotte is single-minded in her pursuit. On top of everything else, Holmes and Watson could be becoming more than friends-but still, the darkness in Charlotte’s past is a wall between them.Ī distraction arises soon enough, because Charlotte’s beloved uncle Leander goes missing from the estate-after being oddly private about his latest assignment in a German art forgery ring.
But Charlotte isn’t the only Holmes with secrets, and the mood at her family’s Sussex estate is palpably tense. Jamie Watson and Charlotte Holmes are looking for a winter-break reprieve after a fall semester that almost got them killed. This ended up being a super interesting discussion since we had very different opinions about the book, as you’ll see. Hi everyone! Like I mentioned in my last wrap up, I’m doing a buddy read with Rebecca Bookishly Rebecca and Jenna Bookmark Your Thoughts for books 2, 3 and 4 of the Charlotte Holmes series by Brittany Cavallaro. As a way to share the thoughts of all three of us in our blogs, Jenna (inspired by Chaz and Marie), suggested that we should try a “buddy read discussion” post, so that’s what we are doing today! We will be sharing our thoughts on The Last of August, the second book in the series.
