I am not sure why this book was necessary to the series. I'm also still a bit confused as to why I read the entire series, as I wasn't a huge fan of the first book. But I like Charlotte and Jamie, and I liked the modern intrigue and the age old battle of Holmes vs Moriarty. I don't like that Charlotte is raped prior to book one and how it is used to color her character. Her insane and potentially abusive family life is enough to cause her trauma.
The first three books are primarily told from Jamie's point of view, while this one is entirely from Charlotte's. It is a nice change for sure, but I just don't find this book necessary. Is there still intrigue with the Moriarty family? Of course -- they could beat the dead horse with that for many more books. But I think the third book covered everything and was enough of an ending for this series.
Series worth it?
If you can get through the first book, I say keep going through the other three. I think this final one is a bit of a weird fan fic maybe, but if you like Jamie and Charlotte, by all means read it. I also like what Charlotte decides to do with her life -- it makes sense, and I hope she does some good in the world.
