Finished reading and listening to Dreaming Spies, the latest in the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series from Laurie R. King, read by Jenny Sterlin. Wonderful. There have been a coupld of duds in this series, but this is definitely NOT a dud. The reading by Ms. Sterlin is well done, and the story was captivating from start to finish. The action starts on a cruise that Russell and Holmes are taking from Mumbai to Japan, and continues to Japan and then finally home to Russell's house in Oxford. I was frequently surprised, but never felt cheated, and only once did I think the author took a bit of a liberty with having these super detectives miss a clue that they should not have. All in all an excellent read/listen, and highly recommended.
Next up, Crown of Renewal, #5 in the Paladin's Legacy series from Elizabeth Moon. The reader is Susan Erickson for this one, and she's not my favourite, but I'll survive.
