Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes cross paths with M. Lyautey and Abd el-Krim in #Morocco in this mystery. I like how history was weaved into this. This book also foreshadows the decline of of British imperialism.
However, I would have liked the mystery to have played a stronger role in this.
I‘m not sure I will ever get over how much I enjoy Holmes‘ chapters in this novel! I love when an author really manages to mail a POV like that.

Challenge 18 of 50: A book with a three-word title
Garment of Shadows is book #12 in the Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series and while it's plot is one of the more outlandish ones (Mary wakes up in Morocco with no memory of who/where she is or how she got there while Holmes searches for her) I tend to particularity enjoy when King writes from Holmes' viewpoint as she does for portions of this book.

There‘s nothing more comforting than being able to pull a favorite book from a shelf for a reread! I recently was given a copy of the audiobook of this one and have been listening to it in the car. While I‘ve enjoyed the audio, it‘s moving too slow, so I‘ve reverted back to the physical text to finish. This was a signed ARC I won from the author, so it‘s extra special. The Russel/Holmes series are some of my all-time favorite books.
Another great installment in the series. This one you definitely can‘t read out of order. It basically picks up where the last one left off. Only three more in the series and summer just started ?!?
Can anyone help me? Are the Mary Russell books just not for me? Tried the beekeeper's apprentice years ago and bailed. Thought to try it again and couldn't find it. This one is this month's book club pick. I would prefer to read the series in order but do I really need to? Keep going or bail?
How long do you stay with a book before you bail? Just curious. 🤔
