The Game by Laurie R. King

Series

The seventh book in the Russell/Holmes series.  This one moved much quicker and reminded me again why I enjoy Ms. King and her series!!
The humor, the disguises, the unexpected!

Such great writing: in only 2 pages Ms. King gives the sights, smells and history of India.  While obviously not a complete picture, she was able to describe enough to reel the reader in without losing them in the depths of descriptions.  Though this vegetarian could have done without the details of some of the animal killings. (Blech)

Looking forward to the next one in the series!!

Historical Non-Fiction

The description of Florence , Italy was breathtaking!!   The telling of this true event that happened in Florence, Italy became very repetitive. So much of this case was so mishandled and things were done for the sake of career advancements.  I actually started skipping many pages because of the repeating of information and facts, or lack of facts, every time someone new took over the case.  Sorry to say, I did not enjoy this read.
