From New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King comes the book that introduced us to the ingenious Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes mysteries

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles into his lap on the Sussex downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée, and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. This first book of the Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes mysteries is full of brilliant deduction, disguises, and danger.</div></div>]]> 91661 22 891863 book 1994 The Beekeeper's Apprentice (Mary Russell Series, #1) total:3952|5:1644|4:1478|3:670|2:119|1:41| 3952 16421 5407 729 6760 3.97 22274 2585 1691763 113980 91661 0553381520 9780553381528 613 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171232497m/91661.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171232497s/91661.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91661.The_Beekeeper_s_Apprentice 4.17 3397

From New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King comes the book that introduced us to the ingenious Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes mysteries

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles into his lap on the Sussex downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée, and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.
