Named One of the Century's Best 100 Mysteries by the Independent Mystery Booksellers AssociationIn 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles onto him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern, twentiethcentury woman proves a deft prot?g?e and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

Full of brilliant deduction, disguises, and danger, The Beekeeper's Apprentice, the first book of the Mary RussellSherlock Holmes mysteries, is 'remarkably beguiling' (The Boston Globe).
