This book was recommended to me by a therapist who knew both that I was a beekeeper and that I was a Sherlock Holmes fan. Holmes has oft been associated with beekeeping and I was keen to see how Laurie R. King was going to incorporate it in her tale of a bright, independent young woman's unlikely apprenticeship with the aged detective. Fans of Enola Holmes will delight in this novel's pairing of characters.
In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes--and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protegee and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. But even in their first case together, the pair face a truly cunning adversary who will stop at nothing to put an end to their partnership.

The character of Benjamin Sisko grew up in New Orleans where his father ran a restaurant, and I loved how Attico took great advantage of the food and music and culture of the city to ground the life of Sisko. Against this backdrop of "N'Awlins," we see the formative years of the fascinating character of Ben Sisko.

Now, full disclosure: Attico is a friend of mine, and I've been a raving Star Trek fan for over fifty years; make of those facts what you will, but if you're a fan of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, especially if you have a special fondness for Benjamin Sisko, I think you'll enjoy this book as much as I did.
