What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Locked Rooms brims with lively 1920s color and verve, some of it in the warrens of San Francisco’s Chinatown…. [a] vividly imagined series.”—Seattle Times
“Richly imagined…. King’s re-creation of San Francisco, especially the backstory during the devastating 1906 earthquake, is superb, and it’s a pleasure to see the unusually competent Russell struggling with her own psyche.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Utterly mesmerizing …. In alternating sections, told in first person for Mary and third for Holmes, the unraveling of long-buried and terrifying memories also unwinds a skein of wonderful historical texture…. A highlight in an altogether outstanding series.”—Booklist (starred review)
“A humdinger of a plot … plus pulsating descriptions of San Francisco’s tent cities, looters, and flattened Chinatown in the quake’s aftermath.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A truly bravura performance … has all the magnetic appeal of the best of the original Conan Doyle novels.”—Strand Magazine
