Between the Holmes/Watson dynamic and the murder mystery it was a story that moved right along and didn't bore me at all.I'm very much interested in moving on to the next book of the series. I liked the relationship between the two and how they seemed determined to keep in form with their own self-perceptions and preconceived notions of each other. Glimpses into the why of how she is were quite tragic on many fronts. Charlotte's family issues seemed a little less realistic, but did stay true to the Holmes mythos. Jamie's feelings of anger about his family are pretty understandable and rang true to me. Soon, the teens are embroiled in a murder mystery which has them living up to their respective heritages.I really did enjoy this book. On the plus side, Charlotte Holmes, who he has admired from afar since he could understand the stories of their families, is also a student. The drawback is that he didn't want to leave his family in England to return to the states where his father's new family is. This story is about teen Jamie Watson who is sent to a boarding school in Connecticut on a Rugby scholarship to pursue his interest in writing.
