Helpful Score: 2

I love Laurie King - I think she is one of the best out there, with 2 distinctly different series and several stand alone books. The Art of Detections weaves together two of her series topics. Kate Martinelli, a San Francisco cop, encounters a case involving Sherlock Holmes devotees. (Her other series involves Mary Russell, the wife of Sherlock Holmes). King is a very intelligent, literate writer who can write a great, very human mystery. Compelling characters and good plots. Highly recommended for those who like novelistic mysteries rather than quick and simple who-dunnits.
