Charlotte Holmes Series Continues With 'A Question Of Holmes' By Brittany Cavallaro

I always thought that the Charlotte Holmes series by Brittany Cavallaro will be a trilogy, and how wrong was I to think that. Not only does the series continue beyond the third book but it does get better and better with every release. Aren't you excited for the fourth book in the series: A Question of Holmes.

I always liked the idea of contemporary Sherlock Holmes stories (from TV series, books and what not) and that is why the book in the series immediately caught my attention the first time I saw them. I felt the same excitement when I finally get to see the official cover of the said upcoming book in the series.

Check out the cover of A Question of Holmes by Brittany Cavallaro.

A Question of Holmes by Brittany Cavallaro

Synopsis

The fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series!

Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson think they’re finally in the clear. They’ve left Sherringford School—and the Moriartys—behind for a pre-college summer program at Oxford University. A chance to start from scratch and explore dating for the first time, while exploring a new city with all the freedom their program provides. But when they arrive, Charlotte is immediately drawn into a new case: a series of accidents have been befalling the members of the community theater troupe in Oxford, and now, on the eve of their production of Hamlet, they’re starting all over again. What once seemed like a comedy of errors is now a race to prevent the next tragedy—before Charlotte or Jamie is the next victim.

A Question of Holmes by Brittany Cavallaro will be published on March 5, 2019.

'How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World' Unleashes New Teaser Trailer And Poster

Along side the Kung Fu Panda movie franchise, How to Train Your Dragon takes the top spot for my all time favorite Dreamworks animated movies. I guess it's not only me as the franchise is going very strong with a third one coming out next year. The movie is titled How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World and this time the story will take us underground, but not totally away from all those soaring and flying adventures.

Dean DeBlois will once again take the directorial seat and scribe-master role of the movie. Jay Baruchel, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T. J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, Cate Blanchett, and Kit Harington will be reprising their roles and they will be joined by F. Murray Abraham to voice a character named Grimmel. Djimon Hounsou was reportedly said to return as well.

Check out the new trailer of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.


And here is the official teaser poster of the movie released a week earlier.
