Historia
The Gardener Estate is one of the most storied and beloved places on the West Coast: a magnificent house in vast formal grounds, home to a family that shaped California—and fought hard to conceal the turmoil and eccentricities within their walls. And now, just as the turmoil seems buried and the Estate prepares to move into a new future, construction work unearths a grim relic of the estate's history: a skull, hidden away some fifty years ago.

The locals are certain it’s a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.

When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

Historia
The Peculiar Crimes Unit has solved many extraordinary cases over the years, but some were hushed up and hidden away. Until now. Arthur Bryant remembers these lost cases as if they were yesterday. Here, then, is the truth about the Covent Garden opera diva and the 17th reindeer, the body that falls from the Tate Gallery, the ordinary London street corner where strange accidents keep occurring, the consul’s son discovered buried in the unit’s basement, the corpse pulled from a swamp of Chinese dinners....

Historia
Lucie Montgomery's semi-estranged brother, Eli, calls her in France to tell her that their father, Leland, has been killed in a hunting accident on the family's 500-acre Virginia vineyard. But the vineyard is now shabby and run-down and her siblings want to sell it. Then Lucie's godfather tells her Leland's death was no accident. With her greedy brother, hell-raising sister, and a seemingly cut-rate vintner hired by Leland just before he died, all the suspects are disturbingly close to home.

Historia
My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

Historia
Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Historia
It was inescapably chilling, as if the murderer was methodically working his way down a page torn from the phone book. The three victims brutally killed in their own homes had one thing in common: They were all listed as M. Douglas. The fact that Mara Douglas is next on the list has her jumping at shadows, until FBI agent Aidan Shields shows up to make sure she doesn't become the fourth victim.

Wonderful find
This is the first Laurie King novel that I've read and it certainly won't be the last. And thank the goddess for the "pro-gay agenda" presented here. It was a refreshingly inclusive book. The story within a story aspect was quite well done. I am looking forward to reading more of her novels. Her characterization, humor and insight make the novel interesting and very believable. The mystery holds out until the very end unlike many current mystery novels.

Story within a Story
An inventive device of a story within a story defines "The Art of Detection". Enjoyable characters and a good narration make for a very entertaining murder mystery.

Holmes Story Saves the Novel
The Sherlock Holmes story inside the novel actually made it interesting. That part of the book is where Laurie R. King really shines. She truly understands how to create the perfect Holmes-style story. It was very believable, if easy to solve, and drew you into what was happening.
The overall detective story was okay, but this was a mindless listen for me. I've been through the entire novel and can't remember the main character's name. And figuring out the murderer was easy. As soon as the character was introduced, I thought, "It's him!"

Great narrator!
I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook, so much that I was sorry when it was over. I've read and listened to other books by Laurie King and knew I would enjoy it, but this one really stood out for me. Much of that was due to the narrator, who made the book come alive. The people in it stayed with me long after I finished listening.

pro-gay agenda
This is a clever story with a very pro-homosexual agenda. Every character except one of the detectives is gay or lesbian. The main character, all of her friends, the victim, the suspect, and a forensic investigator are all homosexual. Even in the Sherlockian embedded story the victim, suspect, and friends are gay. I know the story takes place in San Francisco, but aren't there any straight people in central California?

Great narration
I enjoyed this story, incorporating Laurie R. King's two series in a plausible way and yet not letting the Holmes aspect take over Martinelli's tale. The characters are well composed, with as much attention on the supporting cast as with the main characters.
The use of the two narrators to follow what are essentially two separate stories seemed a bit odd at first, but it made sense after the first few minutes (an audiobook within an audiobook, as it were). Alyssa Bresnahan's narration won me over from the start - she injects a dash of wry humour into her reading that gives life to the story. A highly enjoyable and intelligent story to listen to.

Love this author
The characters, the plot, and the style are most enjoyable. I'm always surprised when I realise (again) that I've come to care about the Kate Martinelle and am touched by her feelings and conflicts.

Too much Sherlock Holmes
I have enjoyed the Kate Martinelli series very much. This book, unfortunately, dedicated FULL chapters to a story within a story about a Sherlock Holmes manuscript. I hate Sherlock Holmes, always have. I was very sad to see so much of a good storyline wasted on something that is so far from its base.

when something sweet turns sour
I hate following a whole series and loving the characters and then BAM nosedive. the only saving grace that helped this was the very end, and it had no bearing on the case. if you've followed the series, do you remember how at the end of the last book, they were talking about going through artificial insemination? well, heck if there's not a 3 year old here now! and she's still mad at Roz. I'm glad the author writes about Sherlock Holmes but he didn't need to be brought into this story. he had his own almost 20 book series. the reading of the book in the middle-ish, I skipped. completely turned off. I know if you've read the series, you'll read this one, but these are my 2 cents. maybe listen to the first few hours and then skip to the last 2 chapters. you won't be missing much!
