EVERYONE’S READING 2008
THE BEEKEEPER’S APPRENTICE
February 14 - April 19, 2008

The seventh annual Metro Detroit area reading program takes a different twist this year with the selection of Laurie R. King’s mystery The Beekeeper’s Apprentice. In 1915, the semi-retired
Sherlock Holmes meets Mary Russell, an awkward 15-year-old American orphan whose genius matches his own. Under his tutelage, this very modern twentiethcentury girl becomes the partner of the Victorian detective. First of a series and beloved by mystery readers everywhere, this book is a great introduction to the genre and to the greatest literary detective ever.
