About this listen

In the early days of 1924, Mary Russell and her husband, the inimitable Sherlock Holmes, are given an urgent task by his brother, Mycroft: find a British spy gone missing along India's northwest frontier, where men are dying and trouble is brewing. The spy's name? It is one Holmes knows from his sojourn in India long ago, and one Russell knows from a book. It is Kimball O'Hara, known to the world by the name Rudyard Kipling called him - Kim....

So very well written (and read) and I am addicted to this series. Delightful how each book feeds into the next one even though it's a completely different adventure. Highly recommended.

I’m working my way through this series and this is my favorite since the very first book. Very fun adventure!

I really don’t enjoy the narrator, but the entire series is done by her and it’s never been done again. The writing is worth bearing through the voice acting. But this may be a book I decide to get in paperback and enjoy even more in my own voice.

Great Adventure

Laurie King is a master storyteller. I could almost feel that I was in India taking trip with her. I could see and smell all of the sights with her. I winced when she was hurt and I thoroughly enjoyed the story.

Another great Russell and Holmes story

Wow. I got so stressed listening to the things the Maharaja did and just wanted to shit him myself. I am sure there have been crazy people in power -yes I know there has been.

Intense and historically touching upon the past. Brilliant story.

Oh my gosh

The narrator does well except when it comes to American accents. It hurt my ears listening to her narrate the Americans speech in an indecipherable accent, not American, not British, not anything.

American accent needs work

The author really paints a picture of India. You can practically smell the place. The reading is exceptional.

Excellent story telling.

I love the chronicles for getting a view of a place and time. I love the mix of real and fictional characters. This book has some of the best supporting characters in the entire series.
