Finished reading The Murder of Mary Russell, the latest in the series by Laurie King, narrated by Jenny Sterlin and Susan Lyons.
This latest book in the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series is quite a departure from some of the recent books. Mrs. Hudson is a central character throughout, as we learn her back story. The story jumps back and forth between "current" and the earlier days of Mrs. Hudson. This made it a bit slow and confusing early, but I quickly got past that and was finding excuses to take a drive so I could listen to it. The narration is good, and makes it easy to distinguish characters, though I wouldn't call it outstanding. But all in all, an excellent read.
