O, Jerusalem Audiobook

" probably my second favorite in the series "

" I have finished my 5th Laurie R. King book in over a month....and all I can say is that I hope there are many more to come! She blends the character of Sherlock Holmes so well with my favorite persona - Jewish feminist sleuth, a.k.a. Mary Russell. I am thrilled that I have found this series (don't even recall who gave this to me, but if you're out there, THANK YOU!!!). "

" Classic Laurie King - great read "

" This was a fun look into the nomadic culture of the Middle East following WWI. "

" Mary in the holy land, just after WW1. As in many other Mary Russell books, this book leaves me with a thirst for more information about the setting and historical contest. Never before, reading romans made me search for information as now, made me curious about the where and when. "

" The events in this book are part of The Bee Keeper's Apprentice -- at one point, Mary and Holmes find themselves hiding out in Palestine. This is the full story of their adventures, and it's recommended that you read it before Justice Hall, which is actually when she wrote it. Interesting as a cultural snapshot as well -- they travel as Arabs. "

" Narrative too choppy, seemed like several different storylines went on, but not intertwined, or interesting. "

" A total corker, and Russell and Holmes show off their usual winning combination of smarts and style. Plus, who doesn't love donkeys? "

" This was my favorite in the series. What my Mom would call a total popcorn book. I am sad to say it also marks the last one I hadn't read (I got out of order). I am now in search of something equally distracting to read on the Muni. ;-) "

" Love Laurie King. I am going back and forth with this and her Kate Martinelli series. "

" Learned so much, fascinating setting "

" This was an engrossing read, tight mystery and vivid characters. It brought the country (Palestine) and the various people and religions to life. "

" This book was so textured with the culture that I felt I was reading an ethnography. When the complex plot was interwoven with the cultural story, the result was a delicious and intellectual page turner. "

" I think this is my favorite so far in the Mary Russell Series, but I'm not entirely sure that I can say why. It's an interesting story in an interesting setting. "

" As always I like Mary Russell the main character, but I found the story telling in this one a little more difficult to follow then in her other books in the series. Not my favorite but certainly a good read. "

" i read this one second, then proceeded to read the rest of the series chronologically as written. "

" Sherlock Holmes in Israel of the 1920's "

" This was not my favorite of the Mary Russell books so far. I enjoyed the first one immensely, the second one a lot, the third one ok. I don't know if it's just a rut or what, but this one seemed to drag on and on. "

" I didn't care for this Mary Russell novel as well as the others. "

" I really liked this one- Mary and Holmes in Jerusalem. It's cool to see her prove herself to the other men there. I also liked to observe her absorbing her jewish heritage. "

" Good. Very interesting to learn about Jerusalem and Palestine. "

" Sherlock Holmes; Book 3 "

" My first Mary Russell novel. Now I want to read them all, starting at the beginning. "

" I liked learning more about the middle east and some of their culture, but this was a little slow and the mystery wasn't really anticlimactic. "

" A reader can learn more about geographical locations from reading King than any other means. She really brought the city of Jerusalem to life for me. Love the chemistry between Mary and Sherlock Holmes. "

" Exotic locale, costumes and customs while Mary and Sherlock are in Jerusalem. Their local contacts, Mahmoud and Ali turn out to be very interesting characters, dangerous and colorful, and very helpful. "

" This is a wonderful series of books. Sherlock Holmes (well after the Conan Doyle years) and his partner/wife Mary Russell. An interesting cast of characters. "

" Another good Mary Russell story, with historical details thrown in that kept me interested. "

" I started with this series after hearing Veronica Belmont mention the Beekeeper's Apprentice while plugging the Sword & Laser podcast. So far, this is probably my second-most favorite book in the series (behind the first one). It was a pretty quick read on my Kindle. "

" I loved this book. I loved the Beekeeper's Apprecentice. I can't wait to read the next Mary Russell novel. What more can I say? "

" My favorite of the series after the first volume. Very satisfying. "

" This is not her prototypical mystery. I really liked that it was set in Jerusalem and Israel. It was also more of a political spy novel. Not so much a thriller but more of an slower paced, organic unfolding of a plot. "

" I didn't care for this Mary Russell novel as well as the others. "

" The language and storytelling are delicious. This is the first author who stands out to me as having the quotes leading into the chapters actually fit and hint at the story to follow. Marvelous. "
