“King makes full use of her considerable skills at probing the dark of the human psyche in this utterly mesmerizing tale of Mary Russell’s trip back to the San Francisco of her parents with her husband, Sherlock Holmes.”
—Booklist
“Locked Rooms brims with lively 1920s color and verve, some of it in the warrens of San Francisco’s Chinatown. It also gives an excellent supporting role to a gent named Dashiell Hammett, part-time detective and aspiring writer.”
—Seattle Times
