A Study in Scarlet Women

I spent most of this confused. I don't suggest the audiobook if you want to follow along, but I'm sure it would be easier to read in book format. Points in favor: - I liked that it portrayed a different version of the Holmes vices with Charlotte's eating. - I liked the mystery part, when we finally got to it Points not in favor: - too many lords and ladies, I couldn't keep it straight. - the first half of the book was BORING. I got this for murder and mystery, not sad stories of Holmes wandering the streets. - Cheating. I know Ashcroft/Lord whatshisface is supposed to be Charlotte's love interest, and I know he has a bad relationship with his wife and whatever but I still don't like it. I'm not sure if I'll continue the series with all of the cheating that's likely to happen.
