My new love

Laurie R King, author extraordinaire, has done it again. Mind you, I read her books out of order, and out of sequence, but it doesn't matter. She's that good.

I just finished Folly, a stand alone novel, and A Grave Talent, and With Child, both of which feature Detective Kate Martinelli. In a week. I'm not an extremely fast reader, but her writing reels me in, letting me come up for air only after at least 2 hours have vanished into the abyss.

Those who know me well know of my decades-long love affair with Sherlock Holmes. (That it one-sided is of no consequence.) It was that very infatuation that got me hooked. Ms King's Mary Russell series was all I could think about until I devoured all 10 of the books. Sherlock Holmes is not an easy character to incorporate without overpowering any other main characters. Ms King does it so well. In looking at her site for this blog, I espied an 11th book. If ever a question arose about a gift, let it rise no further!
