À propos de cet audio
Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes, hoping for a respite in the French countryside, are instead caught up in a case that turns both bewildering and intensely personal
After their recent adventures in Transylvania, Russell and Holmes look forward to spending time with Holmes' son, the famous artist Damian Adler, and his family. But when they arrive at Damian’s house, they discover that the Adlers have fled from a mysterious threat.
Holmes rushes after Damian while Russell, slowed down by a recent injury, stays behind to search the empty house. In Damian’s studio, she discovers four crates packed with memorabilia related to Holmes’ grand-uncle, the artist Horace Vernet. It’s an odd mix of treasures and clutter, including a tarnished silver lamp with a rotating shade: an antique yet sophisticated form of zoetrope, fitted with strips of paper whose images dance with the lantern’s spin.
In the same crate is an old journal written in a nearly impenetrable code. Intrigued, Russell sets about deciphering the intricate cryptograph, slowly realizing that each entry is built around an image—the first of which is a child, bundled into a carriage by an abductor, watching her mother recede from view.
Russell is troubled, then entranced, but each entry she decodes brings more questions. Who is the young woman who created this elaborate puzzle? What does she have to do with Damian, or the Vernets—or the threat hovering over the house?
The secrets of the past appear to be reaching into the present. And it seems increasingly urgent that Russell figure out how the journal and lantern are related to Damian—and possibly to Sherlock Holmes himself.
Could there be things about his own history that even the master detective does not perceive?

For years, there have been whispers that, before his death, Van Gogh completed a final self-portrait. Curators and art historians have savored this rumor, hoping it could illuminate some of the troubled artist's many secrets, but even they have to concede that the missing painting is likely lost forever. But when Luke Perrone, artist and great-grandson of the man who stole the Mona Lisa, and Alexis Verde, daughter of a notorious art thief, discover what may be the missing portrait, they are drawn into a most epic art puzzles.

Emma is the one that got away. The only survivor of a serial killer known in the tabloids as “The Hairdresser”, because of the trophies he takes from his victims. The police aren't convinced. Nor is her husband. She never actually saw her tormentor properly, but now she recognizes him in every man she sees. Haunted by the horrifying incident and unwanted notoriety, Emma gives up her job as a psychiatrist and retreats from the outside world to recuperate at home, where it’s quiet. Where she can be anonymous and safe. Where no one can hurt her.

But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night. With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face.

The Lantern’s Dance
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
The Russell of previous books is clinical, decisive, brilliant, and focused. The narrator of this book chose to make Russell hesitant, indecisive, overly emotional, and, at times, frivolous.
This book’s Holmes is distracted, lumbering, and almost completely lacking in his characteristic razor sharp intelligence and deductive brilliance.
The plot is slow and often predictable. It lacks the customary gripping storyline, characters, and locales. The narrator clearly struggled with the various accents in the story, mispronouncing many common French words, and gave Damien an ridiculous polyglot accent that shifted from American to poorly pronounced French in the same sentence.
All in all, a disappointment, which is frankly shocking from a Russell & Holmes novel. Here’s hoping that the next one returns to its roots and a more experienced narrator is found.
Not the Russell & Holmes of Old
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
The narrator is very skilled. But her interpretations of Holmes & Adler were muddy and weak compared to the narrator of the previous books. In her defense, a French/American accent influenced by years in England & Shanghai must be very difficult to interpret. And Holmes’ dialogue in this book didn’t give her much to work with.
If you loved the other books you may want to skip this one.
Disappointing
