This is my favorite Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes book. The audiobook is fantastic, and I listen to it about once every six months. It is a 1920's British historical mystery, set a little bit in Canada. British great house/family, with realistic social commentary about British nobility and World War I. I believe the Mary Russell books are best read in internal chronological order.
