Been adding reviews to the books in the Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series on Goodreads and Edelweiss and can as well add them to my blogs. Been a while since I read the books, but most of the books in this series have I read so many times I can the storylines quite well. The year is 1923, M...
"A Letter Of Mary" is the third book in the Mary Russell series and the first one in which we see how Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes function as a married couple. They are both formidable people: Holmes, in his sixties, almost retired from a career he made largely in the previous century, but st...
It's 1923, and Mary Russell and her husband (Sherlock Holmes) are paid a call by an old acquaintance. Dorothy Ruskin is an archaeologist with an interest in the Holy Land ... and a letter that she believes was written by Mary Magdalene.

The third book in the Mary Russell series, I really enjoyed A Letter of Mary. On audio it is excellent and I highly recommend it to those who enjoy listening to their books when it suits. A brief summary (which I just copied from BL new book page!): The quiet in the Holmes household in Sussex ...

This was the first Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes book I ever read, and of those first three I have read, this is still my favorite. I picked up the book intrigued that it involved a papyrus letter of Mary Magdalene and found so much more. Set in 1923, Russell and Holmes are a married couple in this...
I liked this one better than book two, I think because it was more focused on the mystery and less on the theology and politics. There was also more of Mary & Holmes working together, which I always find fun.
