Late in the summer of 1923, Mary Russell Holmes and her husband, the illustrious Sherlock Holmes, are ensconced in their home on the Sussex Downs, giving themselves over to their studies: Russell to her theology, and Holmes to his malodorous chemical experiments. Interrupting the idyllic scene, amateur archaeologist Miss Dorothy Ruskin visits with a startling puzzle. Working in the Holy Land, she has unearthed a tattered roll of papyrus with a message from Mary Magdalene. Miss Ruskin wants Russell to safeguard the letter. But when Miss Ruskin is killed in a traffic accident, Russell and Holmes find themselves on the trail of a fiendishly clever murderer. Clearly there was more to Miss Ruskin than met the eye. But why was she murdered? Was it her involvement in the volatile politics of the Holy Land? Was it her championing of women's rights? Or was it the scroll--a deeply troubling letter that could prove to be a Biblical bombshell? In either case, Russell and Holmes soon find that solving her murder may be murder itself.

I found this a lot more enjoyable than Book #2, there was a lot more substance to the mystery this time, and Russell seemed to be slightly more sensible and less annoying this time (not so much on her high horse!) I'll admit I had troubles going into this with the idea of a "married Holmes", but the Mary/Sherlock relationship isn't lovey-dovey and cloying, and it does add depth to the detecting as their partnership has them work and think as one.

Thank you for this! There's something messed up with the mail going to my school, so this took an EXTREMELY long time to get to me. I'll try to read it and get it moving ASAP (although this is the first book in the bookring that I've gotten, and it's third in the series... hmmm.)
