About this listen
Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes turn the Riviera upside-down to crack their most captivating case yet in the New York Times best-selling series that Lee Child called "the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today."
It's summertime on the Riviera, where the Jazz Age is busily reinventing the holiday delights of warm days on golden sand and cool nights on terraces and dance floors. Just up the coast lies a more traditional pleasure ground: Monte Carlo, where fortunes are won, lost, stolen, and hidden away.
So when Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes happen across the Côte d'Azur in this summer of 1925, they find themselves pulled between the young and the old, hot sun and cool jazz, new friendships and old loyalties, childlike pleasures and very grownup sins....

Disappointing
Waited so long for this and saved it up for Christmas so was very disappointed to find it far from her best, in fact a bit tedious in places. Hope the next one returns to her usual excellent form.

Too much Russell not enough Holmes/Russell
Bit slow at start but very exciting eventually.
Would have liked more Holmes/Russell working together. Narrator's Holmes voice much too posh. Bit disappointing overall.

Laurie R King is my No 1 favourite
I’ve fallen head over heals with Laurie R King and her stories of Mary Russell. Jenny Sterling narrates with such fabulous charm and charisma. Her voice I’ve grown to love too. My first audiobooks. My message to Laurie is thank you for bringing Mary in to my life. To Jenny, thank you for being the beautiful voice of Mary, and Holmes of course…. Your voice encapsulates the true essence of their characters. Jenny, you got me from the beginning. Xx

running out of steam.......
It seems the author is running out of steam, this audiobook got going briefly in the middle then went downhill again.
I still don't know how the author got away with the use of these characters, not doing justice to them and the incredulity these books inspire is a strange mix. The books are best if you forget about the great Conan Doyle stories, it's no use getting annoyed at what the author has done to 'our beloved Holmes. Watson et al . I listen to them because I can give them back, Riviera is perhaps a tale too far, boring and long winded in parts, an average whodunnit !
