Too slow burn for me.

This is probably my last book in the series.

WHY does Mary have to fall off a horse 5 times in one chapter?

In a long, slow book I can’t recall Sherlock or Mary coming up with even one brilliant deduction.

Good writing — but mainly for putting me to sleep. 😀

The Moor (1998) is the fourth book in Mary Russell series by Laurie R. King.

I was surprised that Mary Russell is already the wife of Sherlock Holmes!

What’s the age gap? Forty years?

The events in the book take place between September and November 1923.

Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes investigate strange goings-on on Dartmoor. Reprising the setting and some of the plotlines of The Hound of the Baskervilles, Holmes and Russell come to the aid of the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould.

Baring-Gould is a real person who inspired this book. He wrote “Onward, Christian Soldiers” and hundreds of other publications. Something of an investigator like Holmes.
