Garment of Shadows is a return to form for Laurie R. King's Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series, after a rather weak The Pirate King (I gave the latter 2 1/2 stars). This one features amnesia, a fun Moroccan 1920s setting, and the return of two of my favorite supporting characters - Ali and Mahmou...
This is absolutely my most favorite Holmes series ever! Every book in the series is fantastic-5 star! If you like Sherlock Holmes, you have to read this pastiche. King's is the best one I've read yet.
This is the twelfth book in the Mary Russell series, which gives Sherlock Holmes a romantic and professional partner--and it works. Well, almost always--I didn't like the book before this, The Pirate King much, and worried a tiny bit the series might have jumped the shark. The series truly is...
I think this book is just too smart for me. I'm sad to say it kept my interest until Holmes appeared on-scene and then we got into a very long, very tedious history lesson, and from that point on, it just couldn't recapture my attention. Very disappointing, because I'd heard such good things about ...
Read my full review @ http://bit.ly/W7aVD4My opinion: While I am a HUGE fan of the Mary Russell series, I simply wasn't a fan of this book.

I am so pleased with this book. I'll admit I wasn't a huge fan of Pirate King. It seemed short and shallow to me. But this book is in the true LRK spirit and brought back the Hazr brothers!
I started reading Laurie R. King’s Garment of Shadows the day it came out, and I think I should begin by saying that it has absolutely killed me, not having time to finish it until now. Cliffhanger chapters are one thing when you know you can pick the book up again in an hour or so. Waiting days bet...
Mary Russell, past mislaid, wakes in the city of Fez in Morocco. It is 1925, she is dressed as a man, has a head injury, and French soldiers appear to be hunting her.The Mary Russell stories have moved from mystery more to intrigue and adventure, but they're exceptionally well done visitations into...
*5 Stars**The Gush* Note: Spoilers are only for previous books in the series and parts of the story mentioned in the book description. Wow. What a ride and what a trip. I'm still checking my clothes for hints of spice, sand, and sweat. Once again, Laurie R. King has done a beautiful job of transp...
