The Beekeeper's Apprentice / Laurie R. King

The Beekeeper's Apprentice, or, On the Segregation of the Queen by Laurie R. King. 405 pp.

I was frustrated by a book I was trying to plow through (The Princess Bride), so I decided to re-read this, especially since a new volume in this series is coming out soon. When someone first told me about a books featuring Sherlock Holmes' wife, I was completely uninterested--what a terrible concept. But they're actually quite good. This volume sets up their relationship, from their first meeting when Mary is 15 (and Holmes is 53) through their first case, when Mary has started university.
