As Laurie goes on, her books get more and more literary; the world her characters inhabit becomes increasingly lush and well-appointed. In Locked Rooms, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes, with whom I fell in love back in The Beekeeper's Apprentice travel to San Francisco to solve a mystery out of Russell's past, but at times that seems almost beside the point. Russell and Holmes dance through the landscape of a city still on some levels reeling from the great earthquake twenty-odd years previously, meeting an array of flappers, Chinese immigrants, and mysterious baddies; at one point, Holmes teams up with Dashiell Hammett to track down the crook. This book marks a departure from previous books in the series by following Holmes (third person limited narration). King seems somewhat at a loss to explain how these sections fit into the Game*, suggesting that perhaps Ms. Russell needed to disassociate herself from the events of the book. This explanation is the only place where the book stumbles, as the Holmes sections seem to chronical events outside Russell's scope of knowledge and bring up feelings/thoughts on Holmes's part that she couldn't have been aware of, and one can hardly imagine Holmes writing about himself in the third person. The sections are fascinating for the glimpse they give of the way the rest of the world views Mary Russell (and for their take on the Russell/Holmes relationship) and as long as King's explanation is disregarded, they enhance rather than confuse the narrative. All in all, a well written and interesting novel, good for someone who is looking for a little more in a mystery than "somebody got dead". *The Game: a term Holmes fans use to refer to the idea that Holmes was real, Watson was his biographer, and Conan Doyle was merely his well-intentioned literary agent; similarly, under the rules of the Game, King is merely Ms. Russell's editor/literary executrix.
