Mary's Christmas

By: Laurie R. King

Narrated by: Jenny Sterlin

One of the preeminent figures in the realm of mystery fiction, New York Times best-selling author Laurie R. King is perhaps most widely celebrated for her works featuring the amiable, if often contentious, partnership between Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. From the collection Mary Russell's War, "Mary's Christmas" delivers the author's signature blend of narrative mastery and historical detail while shining light on previously unexplored corners of the Russell-Holmes universe. Laurie R. King blends her long-running brand of crime fiction with historical treats and narrative sleight of hand.

A real Christmas treat

Another short story of Russell & Holmes. Another little delight for those who love the series. Good fun from wicked uncle Jake.

Laurie R. King Writes Enchanting Stories

I've read them all, and will continue reading and cherishing them as long as she continues to write. I have always wanted to BE Mary Russell. Only books re-read very well, too.

well done! classic Mary

well done! classic Mary, well told, and the listen was enjoyable. overall a little pricey.

Nice Holiday Story

Every child should have an Uncle Jake. A relative who travels the world and pops in now and again. Who sends museum piece gifts for holiday. And teaches children important skills, like knife throwing.

Not a mystery

Sherlock Holmes was merely listening to Mary tell the story. He was not an active participant.
