Alternatively, The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King is set partly in East Sussex - and is a brilliant modern take on what happened to Sherlock Holmes as he grew older. xxxHook, Line and Sink Herhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468955562891105625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213434736760962617.post-52006713695727307152013-06-29T18:04:30.992+01:002013-06-29T18:04:30.992+01:00This sounds fantastic.
