Continuing to enjoy the series; didn't like this one quite as well as some of the others.

Part of the issue may be that it's fun to watch Mary's character and her relationship to Holmes grow and change. This one -- being set within a six-week period in the middle of the first novel -- lacked that sense of growth. I might have liked it better if I'd read it just after the first book, even if it is #5 in the series.

Still, the setting was great, especially once they landed in Jerusalem. I could have used a map, as I got a bit confused about where they were headed.

On to #6!
