Mary Russell, assistant and protegee of the great Sherlock Holmes finds herself and her partner once more mired in mystery. When Mary is given a scrap of papyrus by an old archeologist friend, she has no inkling of what it contains. Written in Greek, it could be a letter from a previously unknown apostle - who just happens to be female. However, the situation moves from being curiously exciting to chillingly perilous, as the archeologist is murdered and Mary and Sherlock's home is ransacked. Given the possible implications of the fragment, the list of suspects and motives seems endless.'
Laurie R. King’s Mary Russell mystery series sizzles with the intellectual and emotional energy that sparkles between world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes and Mary, his young wife and partner. Together, they take on tantalizing cases that break new ground in crime detection.
When an old archaeologist friend gives Mary a curled scrap of papyrus, Mary is startled to see that it is covered with Greek symbols. The writing may be a letter from an unknown—female—apostle. Soon the old friend has been murdered, the
Holmes’ cottage has been ransacked, and Mary is faced with a particularly dangerous and painful investigation.
From the solitude of the English countryside to the dark, teeming streets of London, A Letter of Mary carries the two quick-witted sleuths through a maze of clues and cul-de-sacs. At every turn, the pair realize they are not only solving a murder, but also harboring a relic that could stand Christendom on its ear.
The third book in the Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes series.
It is 1923. Mary Russell Holmes and her husband, the retired Sherlock Holmes, are enjoying the summer together on their Sussex estate when they are visited by an old friend, Miss Dorothy Ruskin, an archeologist just returned from Palestine. She leaves in their protection an ancient manuscript which seems to hint at the possibility that Mary Magdalene was an apostle--an artifact certain to stir up a storm of biblical proportions in the Christian establishment. When Ruskin is suddenly killed in a tragic accident, Russell and Holmes find themselves on the trail of a fiendishly clever murderer. Brimming with political intrigue, theological arcana, and brilliant Holmesian deductions.
While visiting London, Mary Russell comes across a friend from Oxford. The young woman introduces Mary to Margery Childe, charismatic leader of a religious sect involved in the suffrage movement. When several members of the sect's female volunteers are murdered, Mary starts to investigate, but events spiral out of control, and Mary's search plunges her into the worst danger she has yet faced...
In The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, Laurie R. King told a richly entertaining tale starring Mary Russell, a spirited American girl who becomes an apprentice to the famous English detective Sherlock Holmes. Now in this eagerly awaited sequel, Mary
returns to solve—with the aid of Holmes, of course—a case of murder, mystery, and religion.
The case begins when a classmate from Oxford University introduces Mary to Margery Childe, the charismatic spiritual leader of the New Temple of God.
Curious about Margery’s popular teachings, Mary begins attending temple meetings. But when Margery’s followers—all well-bred, well-heeled young women—become targets for murder, Mary senses something sinister lurking
within the walls of the temple. With Holmes at her side, she plunges headlong into the most dangerous investigation of her life.
Steeped in charming intelligence and finely crafted suspense, A Monstrous Regiment of Women continues the enchanting adventures of the most beguiling and ingenious detective team in the world of mystery fiction.
