Title: The Game is Afoot
Review: This was the 8th adventure for Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, and a different story for Laurie King as well. The book is far more personal and deals with the psyche of Mary Russell in many ways. The result is a fascinating read, although it is in some ways different from the earlier Russell books. I'm not sure I'd suggest starting with this book in the series, though I would highly recommend it for those who have followed all the books. It ties up a number of loose ends from earlier cases in such a way as to marvel at King's overarching plan for her characters over these past 8 books.For most of the book, Mary is off of her game by the dreams and feeling that haunt her from her youth. She learns that she was in San Francisco (rather than London) for most of her childhood and lived through the 1906 earthquake. Part of the tale is told from the viewpoint of Holmes as a result and Mary is not as active a participant as in other cases.Highly recommended.
