Series
The fifth in the Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series, but it wasn't in chronological order of the four prior novels. Not sure the purpose the author had unless she had the idea for this book after publishing the other ones. It threw me off a little bit, but not enough to distract me from reading the book.

Unfortunately it was the slow pace of this one that made reading difficult; as if the author was trying to make the reader feel like they too were walking miles and miles and miles to Jerusalem. King has an MA in Old Testament Theology and her schooling certainly comes out in this book. Readers who are well versed in the Bible will appreciate the historical references in the Holy City.
Some of the characters I met here will appear in the next Russell/Sherlock book, and hopefully it will move alot faster - maybe they will have cars this time!
