lydbok


What happens when Sherlock Holmes—a pompous, proper Victorian gentleman—takes an outspoken American woman as his apprentice? Edgar Award–winning author Laurie R. King reveals the answer in The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, an

absorbing novel steeped in exquisite understanding and charming intelligence.

In 1914, a bold young American named Mary Russell meets a retired beekeeper in the English countryside. His name is Sherlock Holmes. And although many years have passed since he astonished Watson by solving Scotland Yard’s most baffling

crimes, the Great Detective is no fool. He instantly spots a fellow intellect in Mary.

When his greatest enemy returns with a fiendishly resourceful plan for revenge, Holmes knows he faces the case of his lifetime—and that he needs Mary’s help to solve it.

Few writers dare to touch the classic canon of Sherlock Holmes mysteries, and even fewer match the legendary style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But in this richly entertaining, enchanting novel, Laurie R. King succeeds with astonishing brilliance and originality.
