Laurie King has a new book out, The Language of Bees, and I am taking it with me to Michigan this weekend. I fell in love with her Sherlock Holmes series when I read The Bee Keeper's Apprentice several years ago. That book introduced me to Mrs. Sherlock Holmes and her life as the wife of the famous Sherlock Holmes. All of the familiar characters show up in these series: Watson, Mycroft, Mrs. Hudson and even elements of Holme's nemesis, Dr. Moriarity. There is a genuine feel for the Holmes character in each one of King's books. There are now 9 books in the series. Each one sends Mary Russell and Sherlock out on a wonderfully original and entertaining story that is funny, heartwarming, and full of intrigue, with Holmes and wife, Mary Russell, matching wits with some of the finer criminal minds of the times. Everything about this series rings true. So, Stop down, or better yet go to our website and reserve this book for yourself.
Catch you at the library!
