The Moor by Laurie R. King

4.0

This book was definitely a good pick up from the 3rd book in this series. I guess I have been sad watching Russell move from a young teenager to a married woman who isn't as interested in solving a mystery and she is reading and researching. Her maturity as she has aged has changed her character considerably. It's like she goes into everything she does simply to appease her husband, Holmes, or because she wants to get it overwith and get back to Oxford and her researching. I did enjoy that this book isn't as heavy in theology as book #3. It runs in the same lines as book #1 and 2 in the series with regards to that subject.

I couldn't give 5 stars to a mystery book that I had already picked out the character that was to be the evil character the first time they were introduced. However, how the author got to explaining that person's outcome was very interesting. This book is medium speed movement. We continue to learn about Russell's and Holmes past and it is worth a read if you have got to this point in the series.
