Book Reviews of O Jerusalem (Mary Russell, Bk 5)

Another very good Laurie King story

The best of the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Very good!

Another well written tale of Sherlock and Mary Russell.

Sherlock Holmes and his 19-yr.-old apprentice, Mary Russell, flee England for Palestine in 1918 and work on solving a series of murders during growing tensions among Jews, Moslems, and Christians.

This series pairs a strong young woman with a very elderly Sherlock Holmes. Facinating and delightful!

Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell, his nineteen-year-old apprentice star in this fifth book in the series started with "The Beekeeper's Apprentice." Fans of King's other books will enjoy this book.

The second book in the Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes series. At the close of the year, 1918, forced to flee England. Sherlock Holmes and his nineteen-year--old apprentice Mary Russell enter British-occupied Palestine under the auspices of Holmes enigmatic brother,Mycroft. A rash of murders there seem unrelated to the growing tensions among Jew,Moslem, and Christians, yet Holmes is adamant that he must reconstruct the most recent one in the desert gully where it occurred. Their singular findings will lead him and Russell through labyrinthine bazaars, verminous hovels, cliff hanging monastaries - and into mortal danger. In the jewellike city of Jerusalem, they willat least meet their advisary, whose lust for power could reduce the city's most ancient and sacred place to rubble and ignite this tinderbox of a land.

Another great book from a great series.
