Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Praise for The Lantern's Dance "Deftly interlacing present and past, King offers further fascinating insights into Holmes' family while also delivering an intriguing mystery."--The Washington Post "The elaborate family lore King has constructed for Holmes impresses, and she pays longtime readers dividends with a number of satisfying disclosures about the detective's past. Series fans are sure to be pleased."--Publishers Weekly "Mary Russell solves the 100+ year old puzzle of Sherlock Holmes's ancestry in Laurie R. King's masterful The Lantern's Dance. King's brilliant tale of a legacy of racism and sexism will remind contemporary readers that those horrors are not new. Huzzah!"--Leslie S. Klinger, editor, New Annotated Sherlock Holmes
Praise for Castle Shade "Highly recommend for historical mystery fans who have followed the series, as well as readers looking for historical heroines with agency such as Maisie Dobbs, Bess Crawford, or Phryne Fisher."--Library Journal (starred review) "Each book in the Russell and Holmes series is a treat. . . . The novels are extremely atmospheric. . . . Kudos to Laurie King for keeping the legend [of Sherlock Holmes] alive with such entertaining novels, and Mary Russell keeping him on his toes."--Mystery & Suspense Magazine Praise for Riviera Gold "The definition of binge-able . . . a bright and shiny Côte d'Azur distraction."--Los Angeles Times "Extends the prolific [and] superior series . . . [Holmes and Russell] continue to have ripping adventures."--The Seattle Times "A refreshing summer breeze of a mystery novel that is so cool you can practically hear the jazz dripping right off its pages."--Bookreporter
