Add a CommentNot one of the better Mary Russell books (I've read them all). Very slow until the final couple of chapters. WAY too much confusing early 20th century Moroccan politics...I could not keep up. skimmed most of the book. Don't recommend it
this was a really good book! i loved how witty and smart russell was. the politics were fairly confusing, but not too hard that the story line doesn't make sense. in this book, i could see the details more clearly than the big picture. in other words, i understood what was going on at the moment but couldn't really figure out why they were doing what they were doing. i can see the setting and the general theme from this book being used for the next sherlock movie!
I enjoyed this Mary Russell story more than the previous novel, The Pirate King. This is similar to King's previous works set in the Middle East, but with more developed characters. I found the conclusion a little rapid, but otherwise a very good read, especially if you enjoy the Mary Russell series.
Overly complicated and not very interesting plot. I keep hoping for something as good as the first novels in this series. Not this time.
This is a quite good one in this series. I found the last couple a bit disappointing but this one is vintage Mary Russell. (Although the ins and outs of Moroccan politics in 1923 rather lost me at the end.)
I haven't been able to get into Ms. King's last two books in this series. Go back to the first book and read them in order. I really enjoyed the older ones set in England.
I just finished reading this book. I really enjoyed it. After being disappointed with the last book, The Pirate King, I was happy to see that this book is back in the vein of adventure that I was used to with the other Mary Russell books. Great read.
