Title: feminist escapes the great grimpen mire
Review: In Laurie King's excellent new addition to her popular BeeKeeper's Apprentice series, Holmes and his wife, the intrepid Mary Russell, return to the Devonshire Moors, home of the Baskervilles and numerous ghastly legends. They help out Sabine Baring-Gould (a true British eccentric in the most Monty Python sense) and bond further. King takes a lovely scholarly approach to her mysteries, much admired in this less than literate age, although her details are more Sayer-like than Doyle-esque. I still have a little trouble with Holmes as a love god, but maybe in the next book, Mary can elope with Lord Peter Whimsy. Here's hoping!
