The Beekeeper's Apprentice is the first Sherlock series by Laurie King. They are a good read.

Thanks. As soon as I have finshed WOLP, I'll...well, I'll probably read WOLP again...but THEN I'll get hold of The Beekeeper's Aprentice.

Hey PSD! Found a HC copy of of "The Late Mr Shakespeare" for $1.25 in my bookstore's bargain books. It was 75% off :)

The Grave Secret, To Play the Fool, Night Watch etc aren't Holmes ones (detective is Kate Martinelli - think you can search that as a keyword on Amazon) nor is Folly or Birth of a New Moon, but the more fornal titles (Monstrous Regiment of Women etc.) are the Holmes ones. I prefer the non-Holmes ones on balance but they're all very good.

The heroine of the Holmes ones is Mary Russell - that should be searchable too. (That should've been 'formal'! btw. Wonder what fornal means?)

Yep that'd definitely be it. :) You probably have to issue an engraved invitation.

could go on for ever tho, there'd be too much 'after you', 'no after you'
or would the rule just be ladies first. might have something going for it after all.

Don't forget to keep your elbows off the table, and to use a napkin correctly. And watch the angle of those little fingers.....

I got the Da Vinci Code and Evanovich's To The Nines 2 for £18 (trade paperbacks) at the airport the other day, after recommendations on here for da vinci... I'd finished The Cutting Room on the plane, y'see, and had to buy something else for the train. Doh. Read To the nines, so I'm keeping Da Vinci for the train down to Leeds.

The Cutting Room is very good too, by the way.

And I (heart) Ranger.

Anything pink

They come in various colours, but they're all pink

Well I like them (most are easy reads)

Actually, no, don't waste your holiday reading pink books, they're better for wasting time when you're meant to be doing unimportant things like sleeping & working :)

No. it's the latest volume in a series about the (mis)adventures of a female bounty-hunter in Trenton NJ.

Hang on, which team are we talking about here, Rangers or Hearts?

Or have I missed the point completely?
