About this product

Product Information

"A truly bravura performance with all the magnetic appeal of the best of the original Conan Doyle novels."- The Strand Magazine En route to San Francisco to settle her family's estate, Mary Russell, in the company of husband Sherlock Holmes, falls prey to troubling dreams-and even more troubling behavior. In 1906, when Mary was six, the city was devastated by a catastrophic earthquake. For years Mary has insisted she lived elsewhere at the time. But Holmes knows better. Soon it is clear that whatever unpleasantness Mary wanted to forget hasn't forgotten her. A series of mysterious deaths leads Russell and Holmes from the winding streets of Chinatown to the unspoken secrets of a parent's marriage and the tragic "accident" that Mary alone survived. What Russell discovers is that even a forgotten past never dies . . . and it can kill again.

" Locked Rooms brims with lively 1920s color and verve, some of it in the warrens of San Francisco's Chinatown.... [a] vividly imagined series."- Seattle Times "Richly imagined.... King's re-creation of San Francisco, especially the backstory during the devastating 1906 earthquake, is superb, and it's a pleasure to see the unusually competent Russell struggling with her own psyche."- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Utterly mesmerizing ....

  • Mary Russell remembers

    This eighth book by Ms. King in the Mary Russell series is set mostly in San Francisco. But actually, it takes place mostly in Mary Russell’s mind. It is an investigation of her past, both remembering things forgotten and detecting things unseen. The narrative is split into several separate sections; those narrated as seen by Mary and those narrated from Sherlock’s point of view. The parts shown from Sherlock’s viewpoint are among the most Sherlockian passages in the entire series, which is to say that they make some sense and won’t absolutely repulse any but the most fanatic of purists.
