dreaming spiesDreaming Spies is the latest in Laurie King's brilliant modern tales of Sherlock Holmes and his intrepid and scholarly wife, Mary Russell. I could smell the spices and see the sun on the stone. I've read a lot of books supposedly set in Jerusalem and this was the first one I felt captured it, not just physically but spiritually. Reading the book delighted me with its descriptive richness and the accuracy of the geography. I was actually searching for a different book which has (almost) the same name - Oh! Jerusalem, by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins (another good one, worth your time). The first of the series I read - which is not the first book in the series - was set in Jerusalem. I have enjoyed every one of them and hope Ms. I have read all but maybe one or two of these wonderful modern Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell novels. I've been a fan of this series for some years. Would you consider the audio edition of Dreaming Spies to be better than the print version?
