Product Description

Synopsis

The latest in Laurie R King's hugely popular Mary Russell mystery series: 'Beguiling variation on Sherlock Holmes sequels...civilized, ingenious and engrossing' -- Literary Review At the end of 1918, forced to flee England, Russell and Holmes enter British-occupied Palestine under the auspices of Holmes' enigmatic brother, Mycroft. A rash of murders there seems unrelated to the growing tensions between Jew, Moslem and Christian, yet Holmes is adamant that he must reconstruct the most recent one in the desert gully where it occurred. Their singular findings will lead Holmes and Russell through labyrinthine bazaars, verminous hovels, cliff-hung monasteries -- and into mortal danger. In the jewel-like city of Jerusalem, they at last meet their adversary, whose lust for power could reduce the city's most ancient and sacred landmark to rubble...

5.0 out of 5 stars Second only to The Beekeeper's Apprentice, 16 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: O Jerusalem (Hardcover)
I've always wanted to know what exactly happened during the visit to Jerusalem, which was summarized so briefly in "The Beekeeper's Apprentice." This book is definitely a worthy addition to Laurie R. King's Mary Russell series. The relationship between Russell and Holmes is delicious in that most of the sexual tension is not spelled out, but just hinted at. I particularly enjoyed the secondary characters of Ali and Mahmoud, and I'm glad that they will appear in the next Russell book, too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the others, 1 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: O Jerusalem (Hardcover)
This book was disappointing. If I were not a fan of the series, I probably would have put it down. Holmes and Russell are engaging as always but the mystery is weak and at times boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great entry in the series!, 27 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: O Jerusalem (Hardcover)
Excellent work by King. Her Sherlock Holmes is right on target, and Russell is having a time of it trying to keep up with him throughout their various adventures in the novel. A wonderful read. I've been a Sherlockian for over 20 years, and enjoy this series very much.

I must admit that the first time I read this book I was a bit disapointed, the high standard of 'The Beekeepers Apprentice' is very difficult to maintain. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Period Right, Adventure Right, Amusement Factor Right:
The sense of Period cannot be faulted. The adventure draws one on from page to page. The underlying sex is enchanting. The characters are extremely likeable. A super book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but only because I love Holmes and Russell
Oh wouldn't it be wonderfule if the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th books by an author are worthy of the first. I fell in love with Holmes 20 years ago when I read my first Holmes novel. Read more

The mystery wasn't very strong, like they have been in her past novels. I felt there was a lot of description, and it really didn't seem to focus on them. Read more
