azrael865 's review for:
Castle Shade
by Laurie R. King
This mystery was amazing in every way. I have enjoyed all of the Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes adventures I have read so far, and this one is one of the most enjoyable yet. I like the historical background and the featuring of historic figures in the story, portrayed in a real life type setting with personalities very well developed. It makes the story come alive.
I loved that Mary and Holmes worked closely together on this adventure, as they did when Mary was newly assisting Holmes in the beginning. It is always Mary's voice, in the narrative, that keeps things exciting and has me waiting for the next story. The wit is fun and often has me grinning to myself as I am reading, sometimes receiving strange looks from people who see me,
Even the author's notes afterwards are entertaining. "Please don’t blame me for Miss Russell’s deliberate imprecisions."
Thank you to Netgalley and Bantam / Random House for the opportunity to read the e-ARC from a favorite author and series.
