Laurie R. King discussed and read from her new book The Death of Mary Russell Friday night at the Tattered Cover Bookstore. She writes a series of mysteries about her heroine Mary Russell and a now retired Sherlock Holmes, which involve solving mysteries around the world. I have never read any of her stories, but judging from the enthusiasm of the crowd, she is highly popular. I read all of the Sherlock Holmes many years ago. I kind of agree with a critic that Sherlock Holmes may have survived a fall from the Reichenbach Falls (where author Conan Doyle prematurely killed off his character), but that he wasn't the same man afterwards, but maybe I will give King's books a try anyway.
