I know that I read a book in the Mary Russell series in which they return to England from Palestine. They have to pretend to be estranged in order to solve who it is trying to Kill Holmes ? Can any one post the title of this book ?
Thank You
I believe you are referring to “O Jerusalem”
That’s actually towards the end of the first book in the series, The Beekeeper’s Apprentice.
