Publisher's Summary
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....

fascinating, complex and fun
every new russell/homes novel further astonishes me with the depth and breadth of Ms King's research and understanding of the era and the people who inhabit it. Riviera gold is no exception- we find ourselves being teased with the nicknames for fitzgerald, dos pasos and a guest appearance by Pablo picasso. Monte Carlo appears to be a sleepy town perched on rocks that challenge even Mountain goats. and a molding casino but with a royal family determined to bring it into the 20th century. smugglers, murderers, nefarious arms dealers people the underbelly of this apparently sleepy town. and suddenly there's Miss Hudson, right in the midst of it. and as Mary learns to her great surprise and confusion, Mrs Hudson has a very colorful past. and somehow, her future is entangled with white russians, and Creek arms dealers. good grief. not to mention an enterprising sculptor/con man and it gets even more complicated from there. all in all a wonderful Rob and I thoroughly enjoyed every word. as usual the production and duration are spot on and Jenny Sterlin is definitely a star who brings Russell and Holmes and their friends and acquaintances to Vivid life. I'm so looking forward to the next chapter in Mary Russell and Sherlock's homes adventures. meanwhile, friends enjoy the feast laid before you..

bit of a let down
I've been so anxious for this to be released. There were so many repeated delays that I was worried it wouldn't be up to the same quality and unfortunately I was correct. It took me a long time to "get into it". I miss the quality of the narration and story I came to love from earlier novels. If there is another in the series I hope we see and hear something along the lines of O Jerusalem or Justice Hall.
