What aroused my curiosity when I spotted this library book was that the heart of the story is based on a letter from Mary Magdalene.Familiar with the work of Elaine Pagles Gnostic gospels,this fictional spin intrigued me.The book‘s content regarding Egyptian archaeology during post World War II (1924) Great Britain colonial fascinated me as well.The novel is told by Mary Russell-in her perspective,as a foil to Holmes.The novel‘s political,⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ social, theological arcana,Holmesian deductive methods,& Russell‘s skill in hypnosis create an atmosphere of adventure & suspense.I am captivated by this multi-layered, unconventional, independent, highly intelligent woman! (edited) 3d

1. My simple pleasure is starting my day with a cup of coffee & meditation/contemplation with daily book prompts about family,friends,myself,community.
2. Mary Russell is an unconventional woman for her times & has a wealth of intellectual curiosity.According to the author, this series is about her, with Holmes as a backdrop.

Breakfast. Cranberry orange muffin to fit in with the season. My coffee is in my treasured Christmas NYC mug. We did not get there this year for this season, but plan to go in January to see an exhibit at the MET. I am home today because my cold is in my lungs (asthma) but with mighty necessary drugs (ugh! Hate prednisone) I should be feeling less wrecked tomorrow or Thursday. 🎄

Sunday morning coffee with a croissant & pastry from a local French/Vietnamese bakery. The bakery is a family affair, serving to die for Vietnamese coffee! #coffeeandbooks #coffeeandpastry

BarbaraBB Looking delicious 😋 6d
LeahBergen Yum!! 6d
kspenmoll @BarbaraBB @LeahBergen The croissant was perfectly buttery & the little pastry was crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside, like a vanilla pudding cake.😀 6d

I think I missed something regarding the poison.

Librarybelle To me, it seemed a little odd that she took the poison. I also wasn‘t 100% sure why they went to the Russian embassy. 7d

CogsOfEncouragement 1 - not sure

2 - Her life was horrible, and she didn't want to have to do time for killing the secretary?

3 - I thought SH and W wanted to provide the evidence to free Alexis from his sentence in the Siberian salt mine as the Mrs. requested.
7d
Daisey I agree with @CogsOfEncouragement that she didn‘t want to be convicted of murder and they went to the embassy to share the proof of evidence. 6d
Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement @Librarybelle I think the poison was a bit extra but as @Daisey said she didn‘t want to be convicted of murder and therefore sent to prison. 6d
dabbe @Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement @Librarybelle ... what I don't get is why have poison in the first place? It was proven by Holmes that she did not come there to murder anyone. She didn't bring a murder weapon at all--yet she brings poison? Just in case? How would she know she'd be in a place where she could quickly find a weapon if she needed to? 5d
Librarybelle Good point, @dabbe ! 5d
Cuilin @dabbe exactly!! 5d

It‘s Sherlock so possibly but so much information was gleaned from one object. Thoughts?

Librarybelle You‘re right—possibly Sherlock would have figured it out, but, as the title suggests, the pince nez was the pivotal clue. 7d

CogsOfEncouragement I thought the change in the amount of food being consumed was key. Maybe even someone with 20/20 vision would take the wrong way in trying to leave the house because of the flooring. 7d
Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement yes, the food was pivotal. He knew the suspect was still in the building. 6d
dabbe Holmes (being Holmes) probably could have put it together without the pince-nez. The footprints and lack thereof on the garden path is another clue as well as the same type of carpeting leading to the garden as well as to Coram's room. The glasses are the cherry on top of the banana split, as the cliche goes. 5d
