The Moor by Laurie R. King

3.0

Overall the book is excellent. I love Ms. King's subtle humor and intelligent writing. However, I felt there were fewer connecting moments between Holmes and Russell. The previous novel had such a poignancy about the couple, that I was (ever so slightly) disappointed with what I perceived as more of a separateness between the married couple. There were a few tender moments where we are permitted to peer inside the deeper layers of their marriage and this was very worthwhile.

I also felt a small lack of "Holmesness" in the story. He was absent far more than usual. On the bright side this gave us a good look at what Mary Russell can accomplish herself. And I do love Mary Russell.
