Blurb (from back cover): "In 1915, Sherlock Homes is retired and quietly engaged to 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. In their first case together, they must track down a kidnapped American senator's daughter and confront a truly cunning adversary-a bomber who has set trip wires for the sleuths and who will stop at nothing to end their partnership."
Opinion: Having heard so many good things about this book and not really looking up to see what it was all about, I was thoroughly surprised. I can understand the praise. Definitely a fun read.
