About this audiobook
A seemingly impossible mystery tests the keen mind and forensic skills of Joanna Blalock, the daughter of Sherlock Holmes and the heir to his unique talent for deduction, from USA Today bestselling author Leonard Goldberg.
The following case has not previously been disclosed to the public due to the sensitive information on foreign affairs. All those involved were previously bound by the Official Secrets Act. With the passage of time and the onset of the Great War, these impediments have been removed and the story can now be safely told.
When an executed original of a secret treaty between England and France, known as the French Treaty, is stolen from the country estate of Lord Halifax, Scotland Yard asks Joanna, Dr. John Watson, Jr., and Dr. John Watson, Sr. to use their detective skills to participate in the hunt for the missing treaty. As the government becomes more restless to find the missing document and traditional investigative means fail to turn up the culprit, Joanna is forced to devise a clever plan to trap the thief and recover the missing treaty.
Told from the point of view of Dr. John Watson, Jr. in a style similar to the original Sherlock Holmes stories, A Study in Treason is based partly on facts in our world and partly on the facts left to us by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Study in Treason is the perfect audiobook for fans of Sherlock Holmes.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was good plot wise, but the characters sort of kept annoying me, Joanna brilliant as she is seems to have inherited her father's arrogance and one sided track.... add to it how the author practically made everyone around her to be less intelligent as well as annoying made it really hard for me to engage with them.
more than once i wished they would stop fawning over her or just straight out just think for a second before they opened their mouths :(
Also the time skip between the 1st book and this one just threw me off, for the book starts with them already being married few months after meeting and that almost everyone knows that she is Sherlock's daughter... i mean HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
there was no explanation at all given to that which further annoyed me with the book and author.... still it will not stop me from finishing the series cause, you know, am a sucker for the Holmes & Watsons ^^
