Rereading Laurie R. King

I have decided to reread Laurie R. King's Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell books - but I am cheating!  I am listening to the books.  I just finished her first Holmes/Russell book - The Beekeeper's Apprentice. I recommend it highly.  Mary Russell is a teenager when she first meets her neighbor Sherlock Holmes.  When the two of them match wits, Holmes finds that this young woman is his intellectual match.  He soon begins teaching her the tricks of his trade and the two work together to solve their first case: who is trying to kill them and why?  I never read any of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes books, yet I find this series to be a wonderful read.  You might also like to read The God of the Hive reviewed previously.
