The second in the Russell/Holmes series.

The dawn of 1921 finds Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes's brilliant young apprentice, about to come into a considerable inheritance. Neverthieless, she still enjoys her nighttime prowls in disguise through London's grimy streets, where one night she encounters an old friend, now a charity worker among the poor. Veronica Beaconsfield introduces Russell to the New Temple of God, a curious amalgam of church and feminist movement, led by the enigmatic, electrifying Margery Childe. Part suffragette, part mystic, she lives quite well for a woman of God from supposedly humble origins. Despite herself, Russell is drawn ever deeper into Childe's circle. When Veronica has a near-fatal accident--and turns out to be the fourth bluestocking in the group to meet with misadventure after changing her will--Russell and Holmes launch a quiet investigation. But the Temple may bring the newly rich Russell far closer to heaven than she would like...

Journal Entry 8 by jennymidget from Bellbowrie, Queensland Australia on Thursday, November 12, 2009

I was so hasty in sending the book on I forgot to review it!
The suspense in this one was better than the first one, but Russell was more annoying (I just can't like her! She's so self-righteous in her intelligence!) and not quite enough Holmes for my taste. Still, I am keen to see how this series develops...

Sorry for the hijack, tokorua - enjoy!

Received this in the mail a bit ago and forgot to journal it right then because of my computer issues (which I still have...argh). I am currently reading one book and as soon as I have finished it, I will read this one. I will journal when I have read it. 

Journal Entry 11 by ladyofunicorns from Santa Fe, New Mexico USA on Sunday, January 31, 2010

I enjoyed The Beekeeper's Apprentice more than this one. It took me a while to actually get into the story. I almost put it down after the first chapter but I didn't. I persevered. I can't even say why, it just seemed slightly boring to me.

I pm'd the next person on the list for their address.
