    About this audiobook

    The hotly anticipated and explosive third book in the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series.

    It’s been a year since the shocking death of August Moriarty, and Jamie and Charlotte haven’t spoken.

    Jamie is going through the motions at Sherringford, trying to finish his senior year without incident, with a nice girlfriend he can’t seem to fall for.

    Charlotte is on the run, from Lucien Moriarty and from her own mistakes. No one has seen her since that fateful night on the lawn in Sussex—and Charlotte wants it that way. She knows she isn’t safe to be around. She knows her Watson can’t forgive her.

    Holmes and Watson may not be looking to reconcile, but when strange things start happening, it’s clear that someone wants the team back together. Someone who has been quietly observing them both. Making plans. Biding their time.

    Someone who wants to see one of them suffer and the other one dead.

      The Charlotte Holmes series was originally supposed to be a three books series, but that is no longer the case, whoo hoo! This series has been extended and I am so glad because I was not ready for the series to end. Especially ending on the note The Case for Jamie did! The only thing that saved this book for me was the epilogue. If it were not for that I might have been tempted to toss this book down with extreme prejudice .All kidding aside, I loved this book most because it had large portions of the book told from Charlotte’s point of view! What I disliked the most was Jamie having a woman in his life that was not Charlotte. That was just wrong and no I didn’t care for her as a character. Sorry, but not really. I found that having this story told from Charlotte’s point of view gave greater depth to her character and greater understanding of her feelings and inner turmoil, I l-o-v-e-d it!The relationship between Charlotte and Jamie has always been complex but Jamie has always been the one to keep their friendship together. He’s been the one to be forgiving but, in this story, that was not the case. Total heartbreak! Jamie had tried to cut Charlotte out of his life and out of his thoughts. He did not want any contact with her, which was so out of character for him. Charlotte herself had been badly shaken from the previous events with August Moriarty and her self-confidence was at a low point. Both of these characters were determined to stay out of each other’s lives for a long time, if not forever. It was fabulous to see different sides to these characters and to see the dynamics between then tossed up in the air!The mystery of who was pulling the strings to bring these two characters together was obvious but at the same time obscure. There were players in play that were rather shocking and oh the betrayal! There are plenty of twists and turns to enjoy throughout reading The Case for Jamie and when you get to the end…heart stab, bleed, say it isn’t so. Then take your limping heart into the epilogue and start to have hope again. I loved and despised this book but my greater feeling was love. The Case for Jamie was a fabulous read and I cannot wait for the next book in this series!

      I just love Jamie and Charlotte so much. I love the complexity of these characters and their relationship. I didn't like this installment as much as the second book but I still absolutely loved it. I liked a lot of the relationship conflict in this book, but I thought the mystery wasn't as exciting (that's not to say that it isn't good; I still had a great time reading). I'm beyond excited that there's going to be a fourth book. I need more of this in my life. Ugh, I just love it so much. PLS READ THIS SERIES. I know the concept sounds weird, but IT. IS. SO. GOOD.

      I actually liked this book in the series a little more than I liked the first two. I think that probably has something to do with the fact that most of this book is focused on Jamie Watson and I actually like his character much more than Charlotte. I do plan to read the next book in the series as well. In this book, Jamie hasn't heard from Charlotte in a year and now the Moriartys come after Jamie Watson's family. He has to figure out how to save his family.

      Took a long time for Charlotte and Jamie to get back in the same location; I was beginning to doubt that it was going to happen. Liked this one much more than the second one. Will definitely read book 4
    • 4/5
      The Case for Jamie takes place a year after the last book, in which Jamie and Charlotte haven’t seen nor heard from each other in that time. Jamie finally felt that it was best to move on from Charlotte Holmes, and Charlotte felt that she needed to hunt for Lucien Moriarty on her own. And now that the two are separated, we were introduced to more of Charlotte’s point-of-view in alternating chapters with Jamie’s, which was a nice change of pace.

      I really felt bad for Jamie throughout this book. He began to feel bad about himself and kind of just wanted some of that normalcy he had before meeting Charlotte, but also missed her incredibly. Right now I can really relate to that with where I am in my life switching jobs – I miss the normal way of my life for the past four years, but also think I might like my new setting. It’s hard; change is hard. Though I am happy that Jamie and Charlotte are eventually reunited and take care of things together once again.

      There were some “I should’ve seen that coming” moments in the book, and I loved that I missed them because it just made my jaw drop. Though I feel like there wasn’t too much of a plot in this one, now that I’m looking back on it. It was more like the after effects of the past two books and honestly what Lucien pulls in this book is like… why???

      Regardless, this book is another good one that I’d recommend, and the last four pages of the book between Jamie and Charlotte is so friggin’ adorable!

      So much happened in this book that left me with my mouth hanging open. A lot of loose threads come together, and it just blew me away, especially after book 2. I love the banter between Charlotte and James. It just feels so real and so intelligent and fun. This series just continues to be one of the best series of books I've read in a very long time. Can't recommend this series enough! I love it.

      I honestly don't know how I can live without this series now that it's over.

      I'M DRAINED BUT HOW WILL I GO ON
    • 4/5
      Charlotte and Jamie have been apart for a year but strange happenings conspire to bring them back together. But there is a lot to work through and someone is out to get them. One thing that illustrated just how much Jamie has suffered since August's death is when his friends scold him for holding them at arms length and being such a loner. I liked that they stuck with him, even so.
    • 4/5
      This novel is #3 in the series. It would be hand to have read book two in order to understand what’s going on--and it would ruin book two if you went back to read it.Jamie is back at Sherringford, trying not to think about what happened a year ago with August Moriarty. He hasn’t spoken to Charlotte and doesn’t think that the wants to, but she haunts his thoughts. Does he want to talk to her and move on with his life? He has spent the last year bringing up his GPA because he truly wants to get into a good college to study writing. He also has a girlfriend who is very patient with his PTSD from that night. Someone has decided to gaslight Jamie--things happen to make him wonder what is going on. Who is targeting him and why? Could it possibly be a Moriary?Charlotte has spent the last year on her own, refusing to correspond with most people. She has her contact at Sherringford to let her know what’s going on there and she has a contact at Scotland Yard. Otherwise, no one, including her uncle, knows what she is doing. What she’s been doing is trying to get Lucien Moriarty’s attention. She’s been obvious, but he hasn’t taken the bait. She has also spent a lot of time analyzing herself and what happened that fateful night. She has accepted that she’ll probably never have a relationship with Jamie, but she still hopes unconsciously. Most of the novel has Charlotte and Jamie separated because they need to deal with the demons of that night on their own and then determine if they can be with the other. Eventually circumstances do dictate that they re-encounter each other. This book was my least favorite of the three because their back-and-forth banter is what is compelling, but I also understand that for character and relationship development, they had to be separated. I still liked the book and wanted to keep listening without pause. I eagerly await book four, which will publish in the spring of 2019.

      I hadn’t liked the ending of The Last of August and was feeling somewhat unenthusiastic about this trilogy, but The Case for Jamie was immediately engaging. It’s a year since Jamie Watson last saw Charlotte Holmes. Jamie is focusing on his final year of high school and trying, not completely successfully, to get on with life. Meanwhile, Charlotte is on her own, adopting different disguises and working to bring a Moriarty to justice.This is a fast-paced and satisfying mystery in which all the details contribute to the larger story. I liked how it dealt with the aftermath of the previous book.It’s also a story about Charlotte and Jamie navigating what it means for them, personally, to be a Holmes and a Watson -- for Charlotte in particular, that means getting perspective on what her family taught her to be -- and working out their own Holmes-and-Watson relationship. I liked that idea that different generations of Holmeses and Watsons have had slightly different relationships because there’s something meta-ish about it: in our world, there have been different interpretations and portrayals of the original Holmes and Watson, and so over the years people have had different ideas about their relationship… There aren’t a lot of benefits to being framed for murder. Once I would’ve told you that meeting Charlotte Holmes was the only good thing that came out of that mess. But that was my former self speaking, the one who mythologized that girl until I couldn’t see the person beneath the story I’d made up. If I couldn’t see her for what she was, what she’d been all along, then I’d had trouble seeing myself clearly as well. It’s not an uncommon delusion, the one I had. The Great Big Destiny delusion. That your life is a story that twists and turns its way up to a narrative precipice, a climax, the moment where you’ll make the hard decision, defeat the villain, finally prove yourself worthy.

      I can no longer keep up with what Holmes book this may actually be a nod to, but I really liked the movement of the characters in this story, even though Jamie and Charlotte were apart for most of it. Told in alternating chapters, we learn how life has continued after Charlotte's brother shoots August Moriarty in the last book. Jamie has continued his studies at Sherringford, navigating senior year and trying to normalize his love life with a 'regular' girl. Charlotte is sort of undercover, delving into Lucien Moriarty's aliases, and keeping a low profile from the real world. I liked the outcomes as the story started to overlap and found Jamie's dad and Leander Holmes' longtime friendship to be expanded in this book. The denouement was clever and nothing short of awesome.
