1 Comment on The Beekeeper’s Apprentice (Review) I’m a bit of a sucker for a good murder mystery but I’m especially a sucker for a good Sherlock Holmes-esque novel/show/movie.
No doubt she has matured and grown in the sequels to The Beekeeper's Apprentice. She is so engrossed in the book she is reading that she falls over him while out walking. I read the book many years ago and I’ve read most of the subsequent books in the Mary Russell series.. Fifteen-year-old Mary Russell is walking on the Sussex Downs with her head in a book one spring day in 1915, when she literally trips over Sherlock Holmes.
