Title: What's Happened to Laurie?
Review: I was initially bowled over by Laurie King's "Mary Russell" series(and her Kate Martinelli series too). THE BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE remains one of the best Sherlock Holmes sequels ever. But it seems each Russell book is a bit less effective than the last. THE MOOR has some wonderful bits of atmosphere, and Ms. King always finds amusing character insights, but the book starts and ends with little of genuine interest ever happening. Halfway through I had to admit that there was nothing other than sheer stubborness to keep me reading.
