Juliet Montgomery is headed to London, as she has just been accepted to attend a writing seminar taught by Professor Watson. Navigating a new city let alone a new country is hard for Juliet, but she is determined to make the best out of this experience. Luckily, Juliet has family to stay with and soon befriends the other students in her class. Juliet has a small secret though, she has hearing loss which requires her to wear hearing aids.
Things soon take a sudden twist when the class takes a trip that ends up with one of them missing. Things seem to go from bad to worse when the cops do not take the students seriously suggesting that maybe Ashley ran away. Juliet cannot stop blaming herself since she was the last to see Ashley and was unable to hear what happened. Determined to find her new friend, she teams up with Percy and Suruthi to find what exactly happened to Ashley. They soon find out more than they were prepared for with the help of Professor Watson and his mysterious friend….Holmes.

I loved how this book gave a voice to the Hearing Loss community. I have a son who has HL and appreciated how Gervais makes the reader aware of the daily struggles that someone who is hard of hearing struggles with hearing aids and the world around them. I liked the modern take on a Holmes and Watson investigation but led by college students who band together quickly even through their differences. I however did find the concept of Holmes and Watson a little hard to grasp. Maybe if we had more of a POV from Ashley to explain more of the plot it would have helped.
