The Moor by Laurie R. King
3.0
This is book # 4 in Laurie R. King’s Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell series, which I am finding to be fun, enjoyable reads. The first 50% of this one though, is very slow. As slow as the bleak, gray oft-described moor is lonely. The mystery picks up after the 50 % mark, but still is not nearly as good as the second or third books in the series.
Here Russell and Sherlock team up to solve a mystery for an old friend. The Baskerville Hound, or one like it, along with a glowing coach is being seen on the moor. And there are two murders to go along with those sightings. One will learn a lot about Dartmoor, and it’s geographical and physical makeup. As well, the culture of the moorish people is explored.
The mystery is average, and the dialogue between Russel and Holmes is stilted. Still, I would recommend for fans of the series.
