Title: Disjusted
Product review: Laurie King has written another book about....well, it's hard to know what this book IS about. Much time is spent on uninteresting genealogical speculation and travelogues and nearly no time on the Holmes/Russell releationship, the only reason why I was reading this book in the first place.In fact, it is not clear why Holmes is included in this volume at all. He has little to do. As usual in this sort of pastiche, he receives a knock upon the head that removes him from the action for the greater part of the story. Some of King's other character descriptions are risible-- yet none of them come to life at any time. At times it would seem that her glimpse of life in the '20s' on an aristocratic estate comes more from movies than from actual research.This is a tired pastiche. Read a PG Wodehouse story instead if you want to know about aristocrats in the '20s'. I won't be wasting my time on any other books in this series.
