A Monstrous Regiment of Women / Laurie R. King

A Monstrous Regiment of Women by Laurie R. King. 336 pp.

The second in this series. One of the best things about this series is that the character of Mary Russell has a deep interest in theology. There's a lot of philosophical discussion of feminism (circa 1921) and theology in this volume, which I quite enjoyed, although of course I have no idea how accurate the ideas presented are. And the proposal scene at the end is one of my favorites; after Russell and Holmes negotiate their agreement to wed, they shake hands on it.
