King is an expert in breathing new life into an old story. I think this book could easily appeal to fans of the older Sherlock Holmes series, and the introduction of Mary Russell may draw in new fans. Women who may have found that they had little in common with the Holmes, the curmudgeon, might find Russell’s straightforward and emotionally charged telling of their cases appealing. I certainly did. And the concluding chapters of the book provide more than enough motivation to pick up the next novel in the series, A Monstrous Regiment of Women.
