THE MURDER OF MARY RUSSELL Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes, Book 14

Be forewarned—Jenny Sterlin and Susan Lyons’s amazing joint narration of King’s newest Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell mystery will keep you absolutely hooked. The visit of a dangerous stranger sets the game afoot. Holmes is away; the stranger has a gun; Russell, a knife. When housekeeper Mrs. Hudson returns, she finds an empty home and a pool of blood. Then it’s Mrs. Hudson’s own story as we dive deep into her past. Who knew she had one, or that her name was once Clarissa? As Sterlin and Lyons voice Russell’s and Hudson’s alternating individual sections, they remain remarkably true to each other’s interpretations, tone, and pace as they tell a story that moves between past and present, Australia and England, respectability and surprising criminal skills.
