As someone who had never been interested in Sherlock Holmes stories, I was amazed at how compelling I found "The Beekeeper's Apprentice." His young partner puts a new human face on the great detective, and her intellectual brilliance is tempered by a warmth that makes her the dominant character, without detracting from Holmes. Laurie King is a wonderful writer, and I hope that this series has a long and successful life.
