I could physically feel my vocabulary growing as I read this book. I'm a sucker for a book that makes you feel smarter by the end of it, for a book that encourages your mind to expand and to raise you higher than you were before. Although at a glance, The Beekeeper's Apprentice is another in a long list of Sherlock inspired literature, I found King's style of writing absolutely captivating and definitely worth the read. 

What I loved most about this book is that (it would seem) Sherlock has finally found his match - in a young 15 year old girl of all people. And rather than dumb everything down, King treats the reader as if they are also on their level, keeping everything highly intellectual, though somehow personal, relateable and human. A great story, with some classic Sherlockian reveals. I loved every minute of reading this and would recommend it to anyone, especially those who are already fond of all things Sherlock. 

p.s. SQUEAKY clean. Nothing to worry about.
