Margery, as Mary says, was a mystic and there have been numerous examples of people going into a state of ecstasy and coming out changed. (Please don't ask me to do the research to provide names and dates!) Considering the background to her mysticism and the problem over which her work fails, the likelihood of a mystic healing does sound a bit eyebrow raising but this is fiction so we'll just have to shake a finger at the author.(less)

Chronological order of the series is different. Not counting the short stories, it goes like this:
Beekeeper's Apprentice chapters 1-11
Oh Jerusalem (which is Beekeeper's chapter 12)
Beekeeper's Apprentice 13-end
Language of Bees part 1
Monstrous Regiment of Women, Letter of Mary, The Moor, Justice Hall, The Game...
Then, book 1 & 2 of Dreaming Spies
Locked Rooms, Language of Bees pt 2 - end, God of the Hive, Pirate King, Garment of Shadows...
Then Preamble & book 3 of Dreaming Spies, and finally The Murder of Mary Russell.(less)

The character of Marie, and her role in the events at the end of the story, simply fall off a cliff, in my opinion. What part (If any) did Marie play in the deception of Claude?
