Rated of 5
by Victoria Russell
This is a really wonderful book, especially if you've read the other books in the series. It's full of mystery, suspense, adventure, and a bit of romance. Justice Hall has to be one of my favourite books ever, and the best book from the Mary Russell series.

Best of the series, best book I have read in a while!
Here's the challenge: take two Arab characters from a previous book and change them completely into English gentlemen. Laurie R. King does a magnificent job, interspersing flashbacks from Mary Russell's memory to remind the reader how great the original characters were.
Add a superb description of English Country Life, including a weekend spent shooting.
What a great book! Especially powerful if you have read the previous book, The Moor.

I was a fan of Holmes for many years before I found this series and I find it as good as the original. The style of this story has echoes of the Holmes novels which I found very pleasing and the story itself was good fun.
