The Beekeeper's Apprentice is the first in a series of novels by mystery writer Laurie R. King, depicting the latter years of Sherlock Holmes' career. A new Jewish-American sidekick, Mary Russell, adds some youth and spunk to the usual mix of characters. Skeptical about the premise at first, I was nevertheless won over by the entertaining, well-written adventure. Fanfic at its best, really.
By the way. I can't wait to check out BBC's new series Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, written by Steven Moffat (the same guy writing the new Doctor Who). The previews look very, very promising!
