Sure I know who Sherlock Holmes is, but I have not read any of the books written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I found our main character Mary Russell to be a real joy. Even if you do not like feminist, you will like her.

The book is not a fast paced summer beach read. I can read very very fast and this book took me several days to read, with much needed pauses. The writing is well done, and does seem to be to set a slower pace of yesteryear's writing. The kind of writing that will stand the test of time. The kind of writing where the author needs to have more than average talent to tell a story.


The mysteries are interesting, even in todays modern age of CSI and DNA you will not be bored with the clues nor the outcomes.

I love my women's fiction, and chick lit and cozy mysteries, and I still found room to enjoy this type of book too. Give it a chance, I think it will hook you in as well.
