Book 12 of the Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes Suspense Series. When this series first started, I adored it. But now it just seems like I’m reading the same book again. With the exception of Russell’s anmesia, this book was almost identical to the last three or four books. I was really disappointed. The story was good-the ending had an interesting-, but it just seemed to be lacking the originality the first books of the series had. Saying that, though, there is something about this series that I just have to keep reading; I’m not sure why.

*** I enjoy Laurie King's series with Mary Russell, but wish she would set the series in Britain more often. This one takes place in Morocco and involves political intrigue that does not particularly appeal to me. Recommend if you like the characters regardless of setting.
