The fourth installment in the Russell/Holmes mystery series. This one pays homage to Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hounds of the Baskervilles.

This one seems to get a bipolar response-love or dislike! I'm on the like very much side. It makes me want to visit this part of the world-though dark and gloomy it holds such mystery. So perfect for a Holmes tale. One of my favorite…

Enjoyed reading the book but not somebody’s chicken scratches IN INK! Why do people have to mess up a book and spoil it for others? Please don’t do this again.

This is my favourite in the series so far- not only do we return to the scene of Holmes' most famous case, but Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould is not only a character, he is the reason Sherlock and Mary are there, and King writes Baring-Gould…

I've read this Holmes and Russell book before, but as often happens, I enjoyed it more the second time. The tone is gloomy in the extreme, the pair get muddy virtually every day, and Mary at least longs for both their Sussex home and…

This is a copy of my May 13, 2017 Goodreads review (Joan, from Stratford ON): This book has quite a few critics, but it's actually one of my favourite books ever. True, this is in no way Laurie R. King's most captivating plot. The plot is…

Fourth in the Mary Russell series, The Moor is a return to the scene of The Hounds of the Baskerville where Holmes and Russell must solve another unusual crime with the perpetrators using the old case to cover new misdeeds. King has a…

This 4th book in the series continues the somewhat odd relationship between the young would-be theologian Mary Russell and Holmes the aging detective. It's a spin-off on the original "Hound of the Baskervilles" story but it captures little…

I didn't enjoy this Mary Russell novel as much as the previous three books. I don't think the author should have tried to go back to territory already covered in the original stories. I felt like the atmosphere of the moor was more…

Another competent entry in the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series, and quite possibly the best up to this time. This one has the moody atmospherics of the Dartmoor landscape, home of the Baskervilles, with intriguing references to…

Surprisingly, this turned out to be one of my absolute favourites in the Mary Russell series. I was captivated, and the Moor felt all too real; I left as if I could reach out and touch the scenery. A five out of five for me!

BORING. Though I've enjoyed all the other LK books on Holmes/Russell, this is truly awful. I can't imagine what King was thinking to change her writing style, and to make Holmes into a completely different person than in her other…
