O Jerusalem (Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes, Bk 5)
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


T the close of the year 1918, forced to flee England, Sherlock Holmes and his nineteen year old apprentice Mary Russel enter British Occupied Palestine under the auspices of Holmes' enigmatic brother, Mycroft. A rash of murders there seems unrelated to the growing tension among Jew, Moslem and Christian yet Holmes is adamant that he must reconstruct the most recent one in the desert gully where it occurred.
