    Slightly used copy, but still a readable copy!
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2023*

My most sincere thanks to the organization from which I purchased my books. Years ago, my daughter was reading a book for a college project. The title was "The Beekeepers Apprentice" by Laurie R. King. Due to a busy life schedule, I was unable to read the book. But it has always intrigued me and I never forgot it.Imagine my pleasant surprise when I recently did a search for the book only to discover an entire series of 17 books (this doesn't include the e-books!). So I delved into ordering my own books in the series. I'm now on a limited income and researched my options carefully.I've stated this multiple times when writing a review on my book purchases: I'm always pleasantly surprised by the used books. Only once in the past 20 years did I get a book that was so badly written in that I wrote a negative review and had to toss the book away. (I received a refund, but felt lied to by the seller and never purchased from them again.)Here's where I admit that I had an issue with the book order. Unclear to my, I didn't realize that all the books were coming from different locations. Two days ago, I'd received most of the book order. The books were in wonderful condition and look great with the others in the series I'm collecting. However, something was amiss. I contacted the seller twice (yesterday) to let them know that three (3) books were missing. Late in the day when my mail arrived, the missing books arrived.I was unable to reach out to the seller yesterday to correspond with them that the missing books had arrived. Today, I found an email direct from the seller letting me know that the books were coming from different locations. Also was a note that if the books didn't show up soon, contact them immediately via the info attached to the email. Wow! Same day reply from the seller is a new experience for me! In the past when I've reached out to other sellers if I've had issues with an order, it's at least 3-7 days to get an acknowledgment, let alone help in locating missing items. This was a pleasant surprise!The order from this seller is now complete. I don't have the entire series yet. Still waiting from my other resources. Once I get the set, I will dive into this series, known to some as the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series.Yes, I said that right. Laurie R. King has written many books over the years. I know her more by this series of books some refer to as the Mary Russell books. The character, Mary Russell, goes into a quiet countryside and stumbles-literally!-into a beekeeper. The date is 1915. Mary is young teenager, roughly 15 years of age. The beekeeper she runs into is non other than the master sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, who has "retired" to a calm, rural area. Eventually this duo begin looking into their own mysteries together. The series takes Russell and Holmes across several continents over many years. Although these sleuths begin their time together in the book, "The Beekeepers Apprentice," Mary's story begins in "Mary's War," which starts in 1910.If you like mysteries, if you want to get away from newer stories loaded with 21st-century technologies, and you'd like to step back in time, this is the series for you. Do your own research on this series online. Laurie R. King has her own website that lists the titles of the books and the dates the stories take place. Each book are stand alone stories. But for those of us that don't like to say "good-bye" to our favorite characters after one book, you may like this series.

    A smart and fun read
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023*

King immerses the reader in cultural time and place while allowing us to get acquainted with her characters. Then the excitement begins! I’m always impressed with King’s depth and breadth of knowledge.

    Marvelous and Re-Readable
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2021*

I am a longtime fan of Sherlock Holmes, and this book captures his essence and fills it out. And then it adds as narrator Holmes’s young partner, the formidable Mary Russell, a brilliant Oxford student with a throwing knife in  her boot, and two wandering denizens of the Holy Land, who appear to be Bedouin brothers but are much more than they seem. Holmes and Russell are tasked by Holmes’s brother Mycroft with discovering and thwarting a plot by unknown actors to destroy the fragile peace following the British victory over the Turks and throw the region into turmoil or even war. They partner with the reluctant and skeptical Hazr brothers to do so. Along the way, they are spurred on by the mysterious military commander Joshua, who like his biblical namesake sends out spies to look over the land, and by General “Bull” Allenby himself, who is determined to preserve the historic opportunity his military victory has made possible. The characters are vividly drawn, not least the Land itself, which seems a living thing. The writing is beautiful, evocative of the age in which the story is set, vivid, humorous, and even occasionally moving. There are scenes, particularly exchanges between Mary Russel and the Hazr brothers, that are jewels, sparkling with layers of meaning and emotion. The last two sentences of the book are unforgettable. This is one of my favorite novels; I have read others in the series and enjoyed them all, but in this one the author, Laurie King, somehow captured lightning in a bottle.
