  1. 5/5 Storläsar'n

    Det här är den sjunde boken i serien om Mary Russell, och hennes make Sherlock Holmes, och hitintills den bästa. Med det exotiska Indien som bakgrund blir miljöerna till ett äventyr i sig. Världsstaden London, anrika herrgårdar, Dartmoor-heden... Konkurrensen bleknar. Nej, till och med det heliga landet i "O Jerusalem" tycks dammigt, torftigt och ointressant när man träffat maharajan av Khanpur och trätt in i hans fantastiska palats.
    "The Game" är verkligen den blänkande juvelen i kronan.

  2. 3/5 Claes
