The Moor 'International Edition': A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russel Audiobook

When Laurie R. King brought Sherlock Holmes out of retirement in The Beekeeper's Apprentice, readers were delighted. When she gave him Mary Russell, an American half his age, as a partner and wife, mystery fans around the world were astonished. Laurie R. King had skillfully revived literature's most fascinating and eccentric snoop. Sherlock Holmes has received a call for help from an old friend. The Reverend Barring-Gould, noted parson and folklorist, wants Holmes to investigate some strange sightings. When Mary Russell realizes where their search will take them, however, her blood runs cold. A ghostly coach and giant dog have been glimpsed on Dartmoor-the chilling landscape of the Hound of the Baskervilles. As Holmes and Russell work through a challenging tangle of evidence, gossip, and legend to uncover the truth, the grey mystery of the moor swirls around them. Narrator Jenny Sterlin voices the irascible Holmes and the scholarly Russell with such authenticity that their remarkable affection and intellectual energy fill the air.

"I love the Russell/Holmes series, but this is on of the weaker entries. So much of the story is just wandering the Moor, which is interesting at first but slowly loses interest. The story itself is also a half-hearted re-hash of the Baskerville story. Worth a listen, but there are better books in the series."
