Absolutely wonderful! One of her best yet! In fact, I have to say this really is the best in the Mary Russell series, especially for diehard Sherlock Holmes fans. I don't want to give anything away, so I can't say too much, but it was a super fast read, page-turner all the way through with tons of time spent on our favorite characters. Don't miss this one!

This book has a very difficult case for Holmes and Russell to solve. Mycroft Holmes also is very involved, more so than he has been in any other in the series. Different areas are all intertwined here, from the Art world, Stonehenge and other such sites found in Great Britain, kidnapping, murder and a race against time leading Russell to the farthest corners of Scotland. Could not put it down. The ending will totally surprise you.

Laurie King has done some surprising things with Holmes' personal life, but this book brings another, perhaps bigger, surprise.

I won't say what it is, even though *another reviewer here does* without giving a SPOILER ALERT. So you might NOT want to read the longest review here by SEVENSPIDERS, if you like finding the plot twists on your own.

Just be aware this book concludes with some problems tied up satisfactorily, if perhaps temporarily, as the story ends with "...to be continued."
