Publisher's summary

Though she cannot entirely discount the effects of the head injuries they were both suffering at the time, Mary Russell is delighted by Sherlock Holmes’ proposal of marriage. After all, they have become partners in crime, and she has recently come into her inheritance: what remains but to confirm the union with her mentor-turned-partner through a piece of paper?

Russell’s pragmatic side tells her to head straight to the registry office - until Holmes surprises her with a sentimental wish to be married in the chapel of his ancestral manor. There’s just the small issue of ownership: the house is not exactly his, and he is most definitely not welcome there.

Of course, such obstacles have never deterred Sherlock Holmes before, and they certainly won’t keep him from concocting an elaborate scheme to evade angry dogs and armed butlers - all in the name of wedded bliss.

Best series ever

I love Sherlock Holmes, and Laurie R. King's Mary Russel books are right up there with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I wish there were more

Length

I was upset that this was a short story cause I didn’t notice that when I ordered it. I think it should not be 1 credit. Needless to say I did love it.

Don't Expect Romance, or even a hint at it...

I have listened to the entire series and hoped and expected more from this book. There is no hint of love, no suggestion of romance, nothing at all. It is just the logistical and mysterious process of creating a wedding.
Not even a kiss...
Is this really a marriage, or maybe just a business arrangement?
When reading the series, MR and SH went from partners to married, and I hoped this book would fill in the gaps. While sort of sweet it filled in no gaps, none.
