A monstrous regiment of women

Winner of the Nero Wolfe Award: It is 1921 and Mary Russell -- Sherlock Holmes's brilliant apprentice, now an Oxford graduate with a degree in theology -- is on the verge of acquiring a sizable inheritance. Independent at last, with a passion for divinity and detective work, her most baffling mystery may now involve Holmes and the burgeoning of a deeper affection between herself and the retired detective. Russell's attentions turn to the New Temple of God and its leader, Margery Childe, a charismatic suffragette and a mystic, whose draw on the young theology scholar is irresistible. But when four bluestockings from the Temple turn up dead shortly after changing their wills, could sins of a capital nature be afoot? Holmes and Russell investigate, as their partnership takes a surprising turn.

  • "A monstrous regiment of women continues Mary Russell's adventures as a worthy student of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and as an ever more skilled sleuth in her own right. Looking for respite in London after a stupefying visit from relatives, Mary encounters a friend from Oxford. The young woman introduces Mary to her current enthusiasm, a strange and enigmatic woman named Margery Childe, who leads something called "The New Temple of God." It seems to be a charismatic sect involved in the post-World War I suffrage movement, with a feminist slant on Christianity. Mary is curious about the woman, and intrigued. Is the New Temple a front for something more sinister? When a series of murders claims members of the movement's wealthy young female volunteers and principal contributors, Mary, with Holmes in the background, begins to investigate. Things become more desperate than either of them expected as Mary's search plunges her into the worst danger she has yet faced."
  • "Décembre 1920. Mary Russell, majeure, entre en possesion de son héritage et décide de goûter les plaisirs de la liberté. Elle se rend à Londres où une camarade d'Oxford l'entraîne aux réunions d'une secte féministe dont les recrues sont élégantes et riches. Mary est d'autant plus intriguée par cette église subversive que des adeptes sont assassinées. Elle appelle Sherlock Holmes à la rescousse."
