Recensione:

Praise for Laurie R. King's Mary Russell Novels

"With great verve and imagination KING has extended Sherlock’s career, pairing him with the superb Mary Russell."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“The great marvel of King's series is that she’s managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes’s character and yet somehow conjure up a woman astute, edgy, and compelling enough to be the partner of his mind as well as his heart.”
–The Washington Post Book World

O JERUSALEM

“[King has] stepped onto the sacred literary preserve of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, poached Holmes, and brilliantly brought him to life again....O Jerusalem is a standout.”
–The Washington Post Book World

“King’s considerable talent makes history virtually leap off the page.Readers can’t lose.”
