It is 1925, and Mary Russell ...

Book

O Jerusalem (2000)

Getting through a series of novels with more than three or four books can be, in many ways, rather tedious. It is entirely easy to simply lose interest in the whole thing if the individual novels are unable to sustain interest, or the reader simply lacks the stamina to see the whole thing through...

Justice Hall (2015)

This sixth novel in the Mary Russell / Sherlock Holmes series may be my favourite so far. If so, it is not because of the mystery, which is whether the battlefield execution of a young officer in WWI was in fact a sophisticated murder. Nor it is because of anything that Russell and Holmes actua...

A Letter of Mary (2015)

Mary Russell and her husband Sherlock Holmes are happily ensconced in their Sussex countryside home. Well, maybe ‘happily’ isn’t quite the right word. Mary has graduated from Oxford and is writing a theological book, while Holmes prowls their little house like a bad-tempered cat. Some days he inh...

The Beekeeper's Apprentice (2002)

Mary Russell, also known as The Beekeeper's Apprentice, proves to be a wonderful addition to the Sherlock Holmes mythos!When 15-year-old Mary Russell almost tripped over the peculiar man while he was obsessively studying his bees, she never imagined such an accidental (and clumsy) encounter would...

A Monstrous Regiment of Women (2015)

Posted to The Literary Lawyer.ca A Thinker's Mystery - 4.5 Stars I was not disappointed with the second novel in this (so far) intelligent series by Laurie R. King. In this novel, the author does an absolutely superb job of using the mystery to move the issues that the book contemplates. I ...

The God of the Hive (2010)

Probably my favorite of the Mary Russell series.Part 2 of 2. I've read this series very out of order but still quite enjoy it. This book was no exception.

Garment of Shadows (2012)

I had a really hard time following the plot of this book -- I could keep track of the characters, but for some reason I never got my head around all of the factions and groups and international relations issues involved.As a related aside: I'm getting fed up with Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell ...

Pirate King (2011)

Very disappointing installment in the Mary Russell's saga. I'm not sure what Laurie King had in mind when thinking about writing this book. This is not a real pirate story as the action is scarce and the insights into pirate's life and their motives is even less consistent. Characters are barely ...

The Language of Bees (2009)

The beginning of this book was very dull. And the sections of dialogue between Holmes and Damian or Holmes and Mycroft interrupted the flow of the narrative and were extremely annoying. I'm glad this disappeared as the book went on, almost as if King realized, belatedly, it wasn't working. Too...
