The Beekeeper’s Apprentice by Laurie R. King

Long retired and living in the quiet of the English countryside, Sherlock Holmes never expected to find a new partner—or a mind to rival his own. But when he encounters young Mary Russell, an orphaned and fiercely intelligent girl with a sharp wit and a taste for detection, a remarkable partnership is born.

Under Holmes’s reluctant mentorship, Mary hones her skills of observation and deduction. Together they tackle mysteries that range from the trivial to the deadly serious, and their friendship deepens into a bond of mutual respect. But when an enemy from Holmes’s past emerges with a plot of chilling brilliance, both mentor and apprentice find themselves in mortal danger.

Brilliantly imagined and rich in period detail, The Beekeeper’s Apprentice breathes new life into the great detective and introduces a heroine destined to become his equal.
