Has anyone read The Beekeeper's Apprentice? I would be interested in
hearing opinions on the book as Sherlock Holmes is a major character. I
started reading it as my wife has a copy for her book club.

Thanks,

I enjoyed it a lot. I felt it added nicely to the "real" Holmes
stories, and didn't do a lot of violence to the character.

Unfortunately, every succeeding book in the story became less a
detective story and more a feminist rant. I forget what the last one I
read was; I do suggest you don't read past the first or second.

An excellent first entry in the series. The problem, for me, is that
as the series progresses, Sherlock takes a decidetly back seat to his
"apprentice".
