Only hours after Holmes and Russell return from solving one murky riddle on the moor, another knocks on their front door...literally. It's a mystery that begins during the Great War, when Gabriel Hughenfort died amidst scandalous rumors that have haunted the family ever since. But it's not until Holmes and Russell arrive at Justice Hall, a home of unearthly perfection set in a garden modeled on Paradise, that they fully understand the irony echoed in the family motto, Justicia fortitudo mea est.

A trail of ominous clues comprise a mystery that leads from an English hamlet to the city of Paris to the wild prairie of the New World. The trap is set, the game is afoot; but can Holmes and Russell catch an elusive killer, or has the murderer caught them?

This is one of the best audio books I've listened to. A wonderful reader; deft, understated, but dramatic, with both male and female voices sounding just right. The story itself is a wonderfully intricate tale, with powerful images and compelling characters. I'm saving this one to listen to again!

Excellent reader and story

I love these books, and I'm enjoying listening to them after having read the whole series several times. The narrator is really great, and does a wonderful job with the characters; however, I can't listen a moment more without saying that every single one of her American accents are very southern in sound...almost Texan sometimes. This does make it a little difficult to buy into the American characters as three dimensional. Still, the stories are amazing and have a lot of depth that is rare to find in a series. Every one is worth a listen.

Much loved books, nice to hear them fleshed with a voice

The details of the Hall, the People who inhabit it and whom it inhabits along with the tensions and twists of the story make this an enjoyable listen. Outstanding narration/storytelling.

I love this series and this episode was very engaging. A bit of distraction from the world with fun characters.

If you could sum up Justice Hall in three words, what would they be?

Mary Russell Shines!

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Mary Russell character adds such superb depth to what could be just another English murder mystery series. Laurie H. King crafted the Mary Russell character so she doesn't always follow the rules of the times. Her partnership with Holmes and her own sharp mind allows her to move through the world in genius disguises. The character is bigger than live, tough, independent and as smart as he. What could be better?

Any additional comments?

The series is full of wonderful history, it is truly riveting, and Jenny Sterlin is an amazing performer. Cudos to all involved!!!

Never liked Sherlock before this...
