Summary: I Savored this Historical Melange
Comment: Okay, I admit it. It took me a hundred pages to get into this book. But once I got swept up in this delicious melange of history, Arab customs, humor and political intrigue, I found myself turning pages as feverishly as I did with most of King's books. Unlike The Moor, King's previous rather rambling travelogue, all roads in O Jerusalem lead onward to a compelling conclusion. I liked the fact that the Holmes-Russell relationship took a backseat to the history, and that Mary Russell wasn't so smugly precocious. This is a balanced, well constructed book, and I applaud King for her courage in avoiding a formulaic approach to this series.

Summary: King's Best!
Comment: When I first discovered that the latest adventure of Holmes and Russell wasn't in chronological order with Kings' previous novels in the series, I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it. That thought didn't last long. Kings' latest is, in my opinion, her best. . She always writes well, but she out did herself with this latest edition to this very enjoyable series.
This is a story rich with history, imagery and wonderful characters you really care about. Set in the Holy Land, the historical references meld neatly with Holmes' and Russell's present. Ancient history and post-WWI history is anything but dull as King paints a picture both realistic and captivating.
Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell are, as always, strong characters, but the other central characters are well rounded and real as well. I came to care about them and hated to come to the end of this novel. I hope that we'll meet up with Ali and Mahmoud, the odd detecting duos reluctant cohorts, again soon.
If you're uncertain about whether or not to buy this novel, don't be. Buy it now and feel the heat of the ancient desert between your toes. :o)

Summary: Sherlock holmes adventures from a woman's point of view
Comment: O'Jerusalem by LAUIRE R.King Is a personal accounts of Sherlock Homels case written by his young partner Mary Russell.The plot is interging,devloping over the course of the noverl.This as a result can be a little tiresome. Tet don't the descriptive nature of which King has prepaired for you.
I found the historical content to be quite interesting and how the two Protagonist lived in the Middle East.I also found the quotes at the beginning of the chapter to be words of wisdom that I may use today.I suggest that the leader should catch up on all of Sherlock Holmes adventures and possibly include some with Mary Russel.
The book is very unique and insightful about the famous inhabitant of 221B Bakerstreet.
