Another good installment in this series, in which Russell and Holmes go to the Riviera. ( ) https://www.instagram.com/p/CuxJNC_Ow-U/ Laurie R. King - Riviera Gold: Utterly sun-drenched, as well as a good mystery to boot. (Dunno what they’re thinking with these new covers, ugh.) #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews This series has generally been reliable, the kind you can turn to when you need to relax, refresh, and be entertained. That said, I have found it occasionally uneven; IMO King sort of lost her way with [b:Pirate King|9970915|Pirate King (Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes, #11)|Laurie R.

I suppose that is to be expected - a plot involving Cole Porter, Elsa Maxwell and the Italian Blackshirts would be hard to match. Still, it was hardly a slog and served well to distract me from recent fascinating, though stress-inducing, reads. As always, Jenny Sterlin was an outstanding narrator. This is a favorite series of mine. I usually don't buy many books. Mostly because I have so many unread ones. But this one I ordered since I have ALL the books in the series and I must have them all muahaha... Storywise, not the best one the series. Not bad, I loved all the cameos from famous people and I adore Russell, Holmes, and Mrs. Hudson, and I enjoy once again stepping into their world. And it's so good written. It's just not as fabulous as some of the previous books. I did, however, feel that the last 1/3 of the book was a bit more interesting. It could be because things really started to happen by then... aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes turn the Riviera upside-down to crack their most captivating case yet in the New York Times bestselling series that Lee Child called "the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today." It's summertime on the Riviera, where the Jazz Age is busily reinventing the holiday delights of warm days on golden sand and cool nights on terraces and dance floors. Just up the coast lies a more traditional pleasure ground: Monte Carlo, where fortunes are won, lost, stolen, and hidden away. So when Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes happen across the Cte d'Azur in this summer of 1925, they find themselves pulled between the young and the old, hot sun and cool jazz, new friendships and old loyalties, childlike pleasures and very grownup sins...
