This is the first book in a mystery series by Laurie R. King. 15 year-old Mary Russell is wandering across the Sussex downs in 1915 when she runs into a retired Sherlock Holmes, who is bored with beekeeping and more than ready for a new series of adventures. Mary is a genius as great as Holmes, and the two form an unlikely partnership, with Holmes taking Mary along on a kidnapping case in Wales.

This is a great series and very true to the original Holmes. If you like Sherlock Holmes, try the Beekeeper's Apprentice and the rest of the books in this series.
