The Beekeeper's Apprentice: Introducing Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes (Mary Russell 1) (Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes) - Softcover
Synopsis
In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes--and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protegee and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. But even in their first case together, the pair face a truly cunning adversary who will stop at nothing to put an end to their partnership.

Review
'Wonderfully original and entertaining - absorbing from beginning to end' Booklist
From the Back Cover
'The Beekeeper's Apprentice' is a brilliantly inventive novel that tells the story of Mary Russell, a young girl, who, in 1914, meets a retired beekeeper on the Sussex Downs. His name is Sherlock Holmes, and smug misogynist though he may be, the Great Detective is no fool and can spot a fellow intellect even in a fifteen-year-old woman.
He takes Mary on as his apprentice, and she hones her budding detective skills on a number of small local cases, but then the sky opens on them, and they find themselves the targets of a slippery, murderous and apparently all-knowing adversary. Together they devise a plan to trap their enemy – a plan that may save their lives, but may also kill their relationship . . .
'The Beekeeper's Apprentice' is a fascinating and beautifully observed novel from the award-winning Laurie King.
"Mary Russell combines the quirky intellect of her mentor with a modern modus operandi . . . A heroine to content with"
