Recensione:

Praise for Laurie R. King's Mary Russell novels:

"The great marvel of King's series is that she's managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes' 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

The Moor:
"There's no resisting the appeal of King's thrillingly moody scenes of Dartmoor and her lovely evocations of its legends."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Erudite, fascinating...by all odds the most successful recreation of the famous inhabitant of 221B Baker Street ever attempted."
--Houston Chronicle

A Letter Of Mary:
"A lively adventure in the very best of intellectual company."
--The New York Times Book Review

"An intellectual puzzler, full of bright red herrings and dazzling asides."
--Chicago Tribune

A Monstrous Regiment of Women:
"As audacious as it is entertaining and moving."
--Chicago Tribune

"King has a gift for the rich, decisive detail and the narrative crispness that distinguished Conan Doyle's writing."
--The Washington Post Book World

"Beguiling...tantalizing."
--The Boston Globe

The Beekeeper's Apprentice:
"Rousing...riveting...suspenseful."
--Chicago Sun-Times

"Worthy and welcome, with the power to charm the most grizzled Baker Street Irregular."
--Daily News, New York
