My issues with the Mary Russell books tend to do more with her Mary Sue-ish tendencies and King's/Russell's appalling treatment of Watson. Neither of those things was a particular problem in this book, but it just wasn't a terribly good mystery. Although...none of them really are, are they? I guess I keep reading because King's prose is fun and I really do like how she writes Holmes.
I've read "Green Ice"; it's heartbreaking. Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to read that Mary Russell Yuletide fic, though! (The honeymoon one, heh.)
