Castle Shade

This was a delightful, easy read.

The presence of the Holmes' (Sherlock and Mary Russell) is requested by Queen Marie of Romania. The elegant beauty has received threats against her young daughter. Transylvania has a long history of problems with strigoi (vampires to you and me) and it is up to Mary and Sherlock to figure out who is making the threats, why they are making them, and what they are willing to do to carry them out. Along the way there are rumors of witches, people back from the dead, and just a little involvement from Mycroft.

I've not read the previous books in this series and there was no confusion in following anything. I plan to pick up the first one in the series to see what I have missed.

I recommend this to anyone who would like some Holmsian entertainment.
