About “Beekeeper's Apprentice”

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is living a quiet life in Sussex, studying honeybees, when he meets Mary Russell, a 15-year-old girl who stumbles into his life. Intelligent and self-assured, Mary quickly impresses Holmes with her sharp mind. Though initially reluctant, he becomes her mentor, and the two form an unlikely partnership. Together, they take on a high-profile case in Wales, where they help Scotland Yard find the kidnapped daughter of an American senator. The mystery connects to Holmes's past and involves clever deductions, disguises, and danger. The Beekeeper's Apprentice is the first book in Laurie R. King's series featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes.
