This program includes a preface read by the author. In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes - and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern 20th-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

"Bag of Chips" series
- By Wendy on 11-26-13
Publisher's Summary
Looking forward to routine police work after her last terrifying case, Kate finds herself on the trail of vigilantes targeting abusive men in the San Francisco area. Kate has just returned to active duty after being injured on the job. Her girl-friend, Lee, has moved back into their home, and their relationship is on the mend. But the calm, predictable life Kate's looking forward to doesn't materialize.
The Ladies of Perpetual Disgruntlement is practicing a modern equivalent of tarring and feathering violent men who seem to have escaped justice. The police department finds their antics humorous until men that fit their profile start turning up dead. As Kate tries to stop the killing, her investigation leads her too close to home for comfort.
A winner of the Edgar Award, Laurie King fills her mysteries with vivid characters and more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Narrator Alyssa Bresnahan finds the perfect voice for the tough-as-nails detective.

violence against women
This is the fourth book in the Martinelli series and I have read them in order. I have enjoyed the other books but this one, I feel, got hung up in the Hindi Gods particularly Kali the female avenger god. The books main theme was about battered women. I feel that King missed a great opportunity to go more in depth on the subject and use the book to educate men and women on the complicated problem. Instead, she went into discussions about the Hindi God Kali and some other female Gods. The characters have almost become people to me and each book feels like I have stopped by for a visit to find out what is going on in their lives. I did relate to Roz and her problems sitting down to work on her doctorial dissertation. As with the other books in the series the book had some action, suspense and humor. King is an excellent descriptive writer and I enjoy her books overall. Alyssa Bresnahan did a good job narrating the book. Look forward to the next in the series.

Needed more day work
This book was so slow and preachy that I skipped through it many times to get to the plot and then end. Not to mention the book skipped and repeated constantly. If you want to read a lover's story with a little murder mystery that was suppose to be the main story but was a sidebar get the book. The mystery was solved in 15 mins.

Not the worse edited job but pretty bad
Unfortunately someone was asleep when they edited this book. Lines were repeated, spacing was incorrect, and it was obvious recordings were done at different times. It was distracting.

Great story; poor production
Another great story by Mz King. Love the narrator. However, the quality of the production was less than normal to include many repeated sentences and not enough space between the end of a sentence/paragraph and the next chapter.

Overall very good.
Once again the narrator is suburb in giving voice to the incredible character of Kate. The mystery is solid and holds up throughout the book. Supporting characters are obnoxious and difficult to tolerate. The character of Roz is overbearing and arrogant to the point of annoyance and dread. I spent the entire book wanting Kate to shoot her. A real shame she didn't. Kate's God like worship of Lee set my teeth on edge. I still believe Kate should have walked out on her long ago. But the book is about Kate and the author can't go wrong with that excellence of a character.

Women fighting back, violence against women!
This is the fourth book in the Martinelli series and I have read them in order. Slow build to a surprise ending. I truly enjoy the Martinelli series. Kate and her partner are back together and another serial killer is at large. This time her close friends are involved. Alyssa Bresnahan did a good job narrating the book. Look forward to the next in the series.

Laurie R. King and Alyssa Bresnahan have done it again. This is a good police procedural, but more than an average mystery. I highly recommend this book and series, but suggest you start with book one.
