The Beekeeper's Apprentice

By Laurie R. King
346 pages

An interesting take on the Holmes mythos. After his retirement, Holmes lives in rural England, tending his beehives. Along comes Mary Russell, a teenager wandering aimlessly around the moors. The two strike up an unlikely friendship and embark on a crime fighting partnership with occasional cameos from Watson and Ms. Hudson.
The mystery is dense and layered, the characters are believable.
