A book review by Rebecca Moll: The Beepkeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King (Mary Russel #1)
Ever hear the old question, "Why reinvent the wheel?"
If you want the answer, read: Laurie R. King's, The Beekeeper's Apprentice.
A new twist on the much loved Sherlock Holmes, The 🐝 keeper's apprentice pairs an aging and retired Holmes with a young, headstrong girl, Mary Russell. And, there is definitely something about Mary.
A pair of opposites on the surface, the two collide at times, yet, deep within they compliment, encourage, and enhance the story line.
Add a sense of danger, the thrill of the unknown, a menacing adversary, a duo of masterminds and the plot thickens, the pages fly.
My first reading of a Sherlock Holmes novel and I am hooked. I will definitely add Sherlock to my bookshelf. Although, without Miss Russell, a certain element will be lost.
Watson, I am sure, would concur, Mary, Mary, quite contrary, there is definitely something about Mary.
Holmes, no doubt, would have less to say:
"Elementary, my Dear Watson, elementary."
A great read for all, from young to old and all those in between.
