Brittany Cavallaro

    25. Mai 1986

    Brittany Cavallaro verfasst fesselnde Erzählungen, die sich mit Geheimnissen und Geschichte auseinandersetzen, oft durchdrungen von einer altmodischen Sherlock-Holmes-Sensibilität. Ihr Schreiben zeichnet sich durch verschlungene Handlungsstränge und scharfe Einblicke in ihre Charaktere aus. Cavallaro versteht es meisterhaft, Spannung mit intellektueller Verspieltheit zu verbinden und so packende Geschichten für ihre Leser zu schaffen. Ihre Gedichtbände offenbaren eine intimere Facette ihres künstlerischen Ausdrucks.

    Holmes & ich – der Fall Jamie
    • Watson & Holmes – zusammen unschlagbar Charlotte Holmes und Jamie Watson hatten seit jener schrecklichen Nacht vor einem Jahr keinen Kontakt. Jamie versucht seinen Schulabschluss ohne weiteren Vorfall hinzubekommen und eine Beziehung zu führen mit einem netten Mädchen, in das er sich aber einfach nicht verlieben kann. Charlotte ist auf der Flucht vor Lucien Moriarty – und ihren Fehlern. Sie weiß, dass in ihrer Nähe niemand sicher ist. Und dass Watson ihr niemals vergeben kann. Sie sind vielleicht nicht auf Versöhnung aus, aber irgendjemand will sie wieder zusammenbringen. Jemand, der sie beobachtet, Pläne gemacht, abgewartet hat. Jemand, der einen von beiden leiden und den anderen tot sehen will.

      Holmes & ich – der Fall Jamie
    • Drei Dinge will Jamie Watson partout vermeiden, als er gegen seinen Willen auf ein Internat an der Ostküste der USA geschickt wird: 1. Dort auf die charismatische Charlotte Holmes zu treffen, Nachfahrin des legendären Sherlock, die allerorten für ihren komplizierten Charakter und ihr detektivisches Genie bekannt ist. 2. Sich in besagte Charlotte zu verlieben – natürlich unglücklich. 3. Gemeinsam mit Charlotte in einen Mordfall verwickelt zu werden. Doch dann wird Jamie von seinem Zimmergenossen zu einer Party mitgeschleift, auf der er Charlotte begegnet und sofort von ihr fasziniert ist. Kurz darauf geschieht ein Mord. Hauptverdächtige: Jamie Watson und Charlotte Holmes! Ihnen bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als die Ermittlungen selbst in die Hand zu nehmen.

Zudem knistert es heftig zwischen Charlotte und Jamie. Sind sie wirklich bloß Freunde? Als plötzlich Charlottes Onkel, Detektiv, wie es sich für einen Holmes gehört, verschwindet, ist das eine willkommene Ablenkung. Die beiden stürzen sich sofort in die Ermittlungen. Sein letzter Auftrag führt sie zu einem Kunstfälscherring. Erster Halt: Berlin. Erste Kontaktperson: August Moriarty – ehemaliger Schwarm von Charlotte und von vielen tot geglaubt ...

      Blending historical narrative, confessional poetry, and detective fiction, this work explores a contemporary romantic relationship that begins in Scotland and unravels in America. The narrator, positioned as a spectator to her partner's brilliance, navigates themes of loss and longing through an elegiac lens. A notable middle section, "The Resurrectionists," reimagines Holmes and Watson as they investigate a mystery in Scotland while confronting their own troubled friendship, adding a layer of intrigue and emotional depth to the narrative.

      In the explosive conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series, Holmes and Watson think they’re finally in the clear after graduating from Sherringford…but danger awaits in the hallowed halls of Oxford. Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson finally have a chance to start over. With all the freedom their pre-college summer program provides and no one on their tail, the only mystery they need to solve, once and for all, is what they are to each other. But upon their arrival at Oxford, Charlotte is immediately drawn into a new case: a series of accidents befell the theater program at Oxford last year, culminating in a young woman going missing on the night of a major performance. The mystery has gone unsolved; the case is cold. And no one—least of all the girl’s peculiar, close-knit group of friends—is talking. When Watson and Holmes join the theater program, the “accidents” start anew, giving them no choice but to throw themselves into the case. But as the complicated lines of friendship, love, and loyalty blur, time is running out—and tragedy waits in the wings.

Two teenage girls who have had enough of the controlling men in their lives take their rage on the road to make a new life for themselves. Winona has been starving for life in the seemingly perfect home that she shares with her seemingly perfect father, celebrity weatherman Stormy Olsen. No one knows that he locks the pantry door to control her eating and leaves bruises where no one can see them. Lucille has been suffocating beneath the needs of her mother and her drug-dealing brother, wondering if there’s more out there for her than disappearing waitress tips and a lifetime of barely getting by. One harrowing night, Winona and Lucille realize they can’t wait until graduation to start their new lives. They need out. Now. One hour later, they’re armed with a plan that will take them from their small Michigan town to Chicago. All they need is three grand, fast. And really, a stolen convertible can’t hurt. Chased by the oppression, toxicity, and powerlessness that has held them down, Winona and Lucille must reclaim their strength if they are going to make their daring escape—and get away with it.
