The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King

3.0

I enjoyed the majority of this book (despite it at times feeling like a fanfic), but was frustrated at the end when the main villain whom Russell and Holmes were up against turned out to be Moriarty's daughter the whole time, AND she was also insane, which was why she was targeting them. It felt a bit cliched, and it was too bad that the story had to end on that note.

Also, I did happen to know beforehand that Russell and Holmes get married later in the series, which given the age difference of several decades between the two of them, made it difficult to enjoy their interactions. If their relationship had been kept strictly plutonic then I would have enjoyed this book a lot more.
