Relation Conducive To Books Locked Rooms (Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes #8)

Mary Russell and her husband Sherlock Holmes are back in Laurie R. King's highly acclaimed New York Times bestselling mystery series. And this time the first couple of detection pair up to unlock the buried memory of a shocking crime with the power to kill again-lost somewhere in Russell's own past.
After departing Bombay by ship, Mary Russell and her husband Sherlock Holmes are en route to the bustling modern city of San Francisco. There, Mary will settle some legal affairs surrounding the inheritance of her family's old estate. But the closer they get to port, the more Mary finds herself prey to troubling dreams and irrational behavior-a point not lost on Holmes, much to Russell's annoyance.
In 1906, when Mary was six, San Francisco was devastated by an earthquake and a raging fire that reduced the city to rubble. For years, Mary has denied any memory of the catastrophe that for days turned the fabled streets into hell on earth. But Holmes suspects that some hidden trauma connected with the "unforgettable" catastrophe may be the real culprit responsible for Mary's memory lapse. And no sooner do they begin to familiarize themselves with the particulars of the Russell estate than it becomes apparent that whatever unpleasantness Mary has forgotten, it hasn't forgotten her. Why does her father's will forbid access to the house except in the presence of immediate family? Why did someone break in, then take nothing of any value? And why is Russell herself targeted for assassination?
The more questions they ask of Mary's past, the more people from that past turn out to have died violent, unexplained deaths. Now, with the aid of a hard-boiled young detective and crime writer named Hammett, Russell and Holmes find themselves embroiled in a mystery that leads them through the winding streets of Chinatown to the unspoken secrets of a parent's marriage and the tragic car "accident" that a fourteen-year-old Mary alone survived-an accident that may not have been an accident at all. What Russell is about to discover is that even a forgotten past never dies...and it can kill again.

Write Up Epithetical Books Locked Rooms (Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes #8)

Has it really been four years since I read the last Mary Russell book? It was great being back in her company. I enjoyed the book, though there was a zip missing, probably because Mary was unearthing some seriously deep shit from her past so wasn't her usual wit-slinging self. The alternating sections between first-person-Mary-POV and third-person-Holmes-POV threw me a bit. I don't think it was necessarily the Holmes POV itself, but that it wasn't consistent. It was usually Holmes, but the

Ive read a number of Kings books and loved them. I think she is running out of gas a bit. This is about Mary Russell, the 23 year old wife, of Sherlock Holmes. They are sailing around the world, and go to San Francisco to settle Russells estate. Her parents and brother were killed in a car crash when she was 7. She does a lot of description, like there are not too many ideas for the plot. A lot of it deals with the history of the San Francisco fire, earthquake, and structural inequality of the

"Locked Rooms" (MR8) by Laurie King is the third of recurring nightmares provoked by Mary Russell's return to childhood home in San Francisco. Two turn out to be memories. The last is symbolic of subconscious truths she refuses to acknowledge. I do not credit nightly brain synapses synchronizing with undue significance. Despite the annoying phony prophetic start, I'm drawn in by the plot thickening, and the author's talent for engaging. Better than psyche focus is the sense of real (not dry

This book reminded me of Elizabeth Peters' "Amelia Peabody" series. Both series are supposedly the published journals of the heroine. The concept works well - until the author needs to cover events not witnessed by her. Both authors fix the problem by "discovering" accompanying notes by one of the other characters - and in both cases, there's only one possible candidate.The trouble is that these "notes" are written in the third person, and it's as if the author forgets who's supposed to be the

I greatly enjoyed this, and decided to give this full marks. The series is basically Sherlock Holmes fanfic, with the great detective given a female romantic and professional partner. So many ways it could have gone wrong, but I never have felt King's creation Mary Russell was a Mary Sue--for all her capabilities she has had her vulnerabilities, and I think this installment is among the most personal and introspective of the books, and I loved that aspect. One thing I've enjoyed about the books

Russell and Holmes have just finished their last escapade in India (The Game), when Russell is called to San Francisco to deal with matters relating to the estate of her late parents. Though Russell spent her early childhood there, she has not set foot in the city since she was fourteen, when the tragic accident that took the lives of her parents and brother occurred there. She is convinced that she will be able to handle the flood of memories and emotions the city brings back, but as she nears

This was one of the best Mary Russell books yet. Holmes and Mary find themselves in Mary's childhood city of San Francisco. Both try to get to the bottom of why Mary is repressing her childhood memories of the great earthquake and the tragedy that took her parents and little brother. It was good to get a peak into Mary's life before Holmes.
