Murder mystery, Aug 6 2009
I have purchased all of Laurie R. King's Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes books and she hasn't failed to engage me yet. I am English by birth and am fascinated with the era that King sets the books in, and of course, Sherlock Holmes. King manages to create a story line that pulls the reader in, she is very precise in her details and the history of the period. This is an excellent piece of literature, entertaining, suspenseful, very real to its period, I loved it. I hope King continues writing her Mary Russell books. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good mystery based in the 1920's featuring a good female detective, working with Sherlock Holmes and that recreates a sense of the good Agatha Christie novels.
