Dreaming Spies by Laurie R. King
4.0
Dreaming Spies by Laurie R King is a Sherlock Holmes mystery featuring his wife Mary Russell. Mary explains the story like this: “The entire case was about books…I reflected. Bashō’s poems, the Bard’s plays, a countess’s empty Bible.” While the mystery ends with a Watson-like explanation of the complex plot, much of the story is a 1924 travelogue of a steamer trip Bombay to Kobe and a visit to Japan. Well over half the book is gone before the mystery is revealed.
If you imagine you’d like both a historical visit to rural Japan and a Sherlock Holmes mystery, I’d recommend this book, as both parts are well written and interesting.
