A winner of a book

I just finished Language of Bees by Laurie King and it was fabulous. Her series of the meeting and finally then matrimony of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes have been truly amazing. I have loved everyone of them. This one has lots of intrigue, action and suspense as do most of them. Interesting enough this one had a main plotline of Mary and Sherlock finally bonding with his son Damian and helping him with a cult like problem involving his wife and child. The sub plot line involves one of Sherlocks bee hives that has swarmed while he was gone on his last adventure. The hive was empty when they got home and Mary is driven to find out why, while Sherlock runs off with Damien. Fascinating insight into bees and beekeeping. And yes, Mycroft is more involved in this one, too. The story moves along rather well and doesn't leave you skimming pages. If anything, these books by Laurie King has tempted me to read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock books, since I have only watched movies with Basil until now. www.laurierking.com/
