The first in the Russell/Holmes series. From the back cover:

In 1915, long since retired from his observations of criminal humanity, Sherlock Holmes is engaged in a reclusive study of honeybee behavior on the Sussex Downs. Never did he think to meet an intellect to match his own--until his acquaintance with Mary Russell, a very modern fifteen-year-old whose mental acuity is equaled only by her audacity, tenacity, and penchant for trousers and cloth caps, unthinkable in any young lady of Holmes's own generation. Under Holmes's sardonic tutelage, Russell hones her talent for deduction, disguises, and danger...

These books by Laurie R. King are really great. I like the characters a lot and the idea of a female sidekick to Sherlock Holmes is fantastic.
Can't wait to read the next one.

Journal Entry 7 by jennymidget from Bellbowrie, Queensland Australia on Tuesday, October 06, 2009

One of the most enjoyable Holmes pastiches I have read for a while - despite the fact that Russell was a tiny bit annoying and whiny at times, and I hate when people make Watson out to be stupid...
Anyways, great story (once it got well and truly into it), got close with guessing whodunnit but was still nicely surprised.
Can't wait for the next one!

Journal Entry 10 by ladyofunicorns from Santa Fe, New Mexico USA on Sunday, January 31, 2010

I finished reading this book. I did enjoy it though Russell drove me crazy sometimes, the way she acted. The story overall was pretty good though.

I have pm'd the next person on the list for their address.
