I think this is one of those "love it or hate it" series. I love it, but there are some things about it I have to push to the back of my mind...like the 40-year difference in age between Mary and Sherlock. But in this book, the romantic angle doesn't come into play so much. Fifteen-year-old intellectual genius Mary Russell, wandering on the moor, stumbles over Sherlock Holmes who is now retired and keeping bees in Sussex. Holmes of course instantly deduces her potential and trains her as his detecting partner. Their first real case together is the kidnapping of a US senator's daughter...but there's mor(iarty) than meets the eye.
