Arrived in today's batch of new books:  Laurie King's much-heralded novel THE 
BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE, in paperback.
 
The novel is about a young girl (fifteenish?) who stumbles over (literally) 
Sherlock Holmes in a field (he's studying bees at the time), and how she 
comes to be his protege.  I haven't read it yet, but it's in the to-read 
pile; everybody I know who has read it raves about it.  There's also a 
sequel, A MONSTROUS REGIMENT OF WOMEN, still in hardcover.
