Publisher's summary

It is 1918. Coming out of retirement, an aging Sherlock Holmes travels to Palestine with his 19-year-old partner, Mary Russell. There, disguised as ragged Bedouins, they embark on a dangerous mission. If they fail, the holy city goes up in flames.

With her unerring flair for the dramatic, Laurie R. King packs this novel with bloodcurdling adventure, clever disguises, and layers of intrigue. Jenny Sterlin's superb voicing of the prickly Holmes and the fiercely intelligent Russell captures every nuance of their unconventional relationship.

I love Mary Russell

Mary Russell is an exciting young woman who also takes her studies very seriously. She takes us on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land like none other. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a resourceful woman lead character. This book would be a great Mother/Daughter read. Mary at times feels awkward, has to hide who she really is, never says no to a difficult task and impresses the men in the tale with her knife-throwing skills. She is a good role model for today.

As enjoyable and well crafted as the Jack Aubrey series

Well done adventures with distinctly voiced characters. With listening to many a time and time again!

Another Excellent Choice

This, like the previous books of the series, is an excellent choice in audio books. The narrarator is highly expressive and seems to have an fine sense of the characters. The series in general is written discriptively, and for some may seem slow, but I have found them to be captivating. I highly recommend this series.

Great

I really like this series. The descriptions of people, places, and things are truly beautiful, plus, it's Holmes and Russell. I've enjoyed these books very much.

Good History Lesson

Interesting characters, good story. Would have liked a bit more history of Israel and Palestine.
Recommend for any interest in Russell - Holmes story.

This audio series just keeps getting better

My review of the first book highlighted the great story and slightly flawed recording; because the stories are so good, I kept with them, and I am so glad I have. The narration keeps getting better, and the stories themselves do too. I recommend for anyone who enjoys the Mary Russell series or Holmes fans that aren't strict about canon.
