O Jerusalem by Laurie R. King

3.0

This book took me awhile to get through. I loved the setting! It brought me back to my all too brief study abroad program in Israel and and surrounding countries. The customs and descriptions were spot on. The reason for the 3 was that the mystery was just not that compelling until about 2/3rds of the way through. It was convoluted and just wasn't as good as her other mysteries with the incomparable Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell.

So, for me, the setting is what made this book. Otherwise, the mystery was so so.
