The Moor, by Laurie R. King (Amazon)
I’m a huge fan of Laurie R. King’s “Mary Russell” series, as I am a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, and seeing this sort of revival is really nice. King has basically created a new character in Mary Russell and inserted her into Holmes’s life as a partner. Of course, the usual suspects are around – Dr. Watson, Ms. Hudson, and Mycroft.
I started reading this prior to spring break on that really nice day. I was able to just go out to the rocks on the lakefill, and I sat and read for several hours. It’s on hold for now, but that’s fine since I’ve read it so many other times.
Laurie R. King has a new book out called The God of the Hive, the second half of The Language of Bees. It goes back into Holmes’s past, and I’m really excited to read it. I highly suggest reading this and every other Mary Russell book that King has authored. With me at NU, I have The Game, and one other (can’t remember). Ask me to borrow books sometime!

Cool post! You should come hang out with us Russellholics in the Laurieverse sometime-we’ll be congregating at Bouchercon in San Francisco this October and it will rock. We’ll do the wave for Laurie at her panels, go on an LRK tour of SF (organized by LRK herself) and there will be excellent Swag to be had.
Oh, and kudos to you for interning at TC–it’s one of the best blogs going.

Thanks Vicki! I’ve been trying to make it out to an LRK events for a while – I had just gone home when she came to one of the Libraries in the Bay Area. If she heads out to Chicago ever, count me in!
