Mary Russell's War: The Hidden History Behind a Legendary Detective Pair (Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes) - Softcover
Book 3 of 3: Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes
Synopsis
Before the cases. Before the fame. Before she met Sherlock Holmes―Mary Russell was already extraordinary.
Mary Russell's War invites readers behind the scenes of Laurie R. King's bestselling historical mystery series in a deeply moving collection of untold stories, emotional revelations, and sharp surprises. From the trenches of World War I to the quiet reckonings of old age, these narratives―including a never-before-published Sherlock Holmes mystery―reveal the hidden depths of one of literature's most beloved sleuths.
From a wartime diary chronicling Mary's fierce adolescence to Holmes's own perspective on their fateful meeting, these tales spotlight Mrs. Hudson's hidden past, Uncle Jake's high-stakes secrets, and Russell's poignant reflections at ninety-two―crafting a vivid, emotionally layered journey through love, loss, and legacy for first-time readers and lifelong fans alike.
Perfect for lovers of historical mysteries, literary sleuths, and character-driven fiction, Mary Russell's War is more than a short story collection―it's a testament to resilience, memory, and the enduring power of story.
Praise for Mary Russell's War:
"The great marvel of King's series is that she's managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes's character and yet somehow conjure up a woman astute, edgy, and compelling enough to be the partner of his mind as well as his heart." ― The Washington Post Book World
"Erudite, fascinating . . . by all odds the most successful re-creation of the famous inhabitant of 221B Baker Street ever attempted." ― Houston Chronicle
