Laurie R. King’s “The Art of Detection”
During our May 2009 meeting, we discussed Laurie R. King’s 2006 novel The Art of Detection, featuring San Francisco homicide investigator Kate Martinelli. This particular mystery features an investigation into the death of a Sherlock Holmes memorabilia dealer, and allowed King to interweave an original Sherlock Holmes mystery from the 1920s into a contemporary plot. King is also known for her Sherlockian “Mary Russell” novels.
