First up, on Sunday, September 28, is Laurie R. King's The Beekeeper's Apprentice. Young American orphan Mary Russell, living in Sussex Downs, encounters the retired Sherlock Holmes, quite by chance. Holmes is engrossed in raising bees, but after he meets Mary, will the sleuthing part of his life begin again?
