About this listen

For years now, readers of the Russell Memoirs have wondered about the tantalizing mentions of Japan. Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes had spent three weeks there, between India (The Game) and San Francisco (Locked Rooms). The time has finally come, to tell that story.

It is 1925, and Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes arrive home to find... a stone. A stone with a name, which they last saw in the Tokyo garden of the future emperor of Japan. It is the first indication that the investigation they did for him in 1924 might not be as... complete as they had thought. In Japan there were spies, in Oxford there are dreams. In both places, there is a small, dark-haired woman, and danger.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Jenny Sterlin is required to be nimble of tongue as Sherlock Holmes's wife, Mary Russell, journeys from Oxford to Japan and back to expose a blackmailer and save the honor of Japan's future emperor." ( AudioFile)
Most relevant
Jenny Sterlin, the narrator is as ever the voice of Mary Russell. She reads story as if she really is the elderly Mary Russell remembering back over the adventures that she’s had with her husband.

Laurie R King’s adventures of Mary Russell are spellbound binding and if you are new to the adventures of Mary Russell then better to go back to the beekeepers apprentice which is the start of her encounter with Sherlock Holmes.

The story with back and forward in time and is obviously the result of a huge amount of research in Japan and 1920s England and shipboard life. Kings knowledge of Oxford

Excellent narration and story

Great book, brilliantly narrated by Ms Sterlin, who I find I actually think of as Mary Russell. Lots of twists and turns in this story, and just when you think it is all finished, yet another twist comes along.

Excellent

I have enjoyed all of Laurie r King books but this one was hard work I stuck with it because I knew it was going to be the basis for another story down the line but that's the only reason why

hard work
