Castle Shade
by Laurie R. King
Fans of Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell rejoice! The famed duo is at it again, this time in Romania to investigate whispers, village intrigue, and not-so-long-forgotten fairy tales.
When Queen Marie summons them to Castle Bran, a centuries old castle with as many secrets as the characters of this tale, the pair is reluctant to get involved in the politics surrounding the newly ensconced royal family. But is it a political plot or something closer to home that threatens Queen Marie, Princess Ileana, and their family? Laurie King does a wonderful job describing the country, the people, food, and traditions, and pulling the reader headlong into a multilayered mystery that seems to reach back through the ages of Castle Bran and Romania’s bloody history. I love Russell mysteries and Castle Shade is no exception. King griped me from the opening line through my breathless finish.
Big thanks to #NetGalley and Laurie King for an advance copy of #CastleShade. I can’t wait for the next installment of the Russell/Holmes series!
