I finished another book in this series. It was likable but wasn't my favorite out of the series. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

What aroused my curiosity when I spotted this library book was that the heart of the story is based on a letter from Mary Magdalene.Familiar with the work of Elaine Pagles Gnostic gospels,this fictional spin intrigued me.The book‘s content regarding Egyptian archaeology during post World War II (1924) Great Britain colonial fascinated me as well.The novel is told by Mary Russell-in her perspective,as a foil to Holmes.The novel‘s political,⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ social, theological arcana,Holmesian deductive methods,& Russell‘s skill in hypnosis create an atmosphere of adventure & suspense.I am captivated by this multi-layered, unconventional, independent, highly intelligent woman! (edited) 3mo

1. My simple pleasure is starting my day with a cup of coffee & meditation/contemplation with daily book prompts about family,friends,myself,community.
2. Mary Russell is an unconventional woman for her times & has a wealth of intellectual curiosity.According to the author, this series is about her, with Holmes as a backdrop.

Breakfast. Cranberry orange muffin to fit in with the season. My coffee is in my treasured Christmas NYC mug. We did not get there this year for this season, but plan to go in January to see an exhibit at the MET. I am home today because my cold is in my lungs (asthma) but with mighty necessary drugs (ugh! Hate prednisone) I should be feeling less wrecked tomorrow or Thursday. 🎄

Sunday morning coffee with a croissant & pastry from a local French/Vietnamese bakery. The bakery is a family affair, serving to die for Vietnamese coffee! #coffeeandbooks #coffeeandpastry

BarbaraBB Looking delicious 😋 4mo
LeahBergen Yum!! 4mo
kspenmoll @BarbaraBB @LeahBergen The croissant was perfectly buttery & the little pastry was crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside, like a vanilla pudding cake.😀 4mo
