About this listen
It's 1914, and a bold, young American called Mary Russell is about to experience a rather dynamic change of life. Deep in the rural English countryside, she meets a retired beekeeper by the name of Sherlock Holmes. Although many years have passed since he astonished Watson by solving Scotland Yard's most baffling crimes, The Great Detective is still very much in possession of his excellent faculties.
Surprisingly for both of them, he sees Mary's untapped potential for his old line of work. When Holmes' greatest enemy returns with a diabolically resourceful plan of revenge, Holmes realises he's facing the case of his lifetime - and that he needs Mary's help to solve it.

A great story for all Sherlock Holmes fans
A clever story that imagines Sherlock Holmes in later years, with a young female “apprentice”.

Unexpected delight
The book has been highly recommended to me and it didn’t disappoint. Light hearted detective story along the line of ‘Midsomer Murders’ or ‘Jonathon Creek’ but set in the early 20th Century and with a female protagonist. The narrator chosen was perfect and added to the enjoyment.

Many stories intertwined
The narrator is very good, slipping between voices with ease. The many stories of Mary and Holmes blend together with the overarching storyline.
