THE BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE

Megan Follows gives a superb dramatic performance of the story of Mary Russell, brilliant Oxford student, and her friendship and working relationship with Sherlock Holmes, who has retired to the English countryside as a beekeeper. Reading with spirit and enthusiasm, Follows captures Holmes's acerbity and brilliance, Mary's wit and intelligence, and Watson's affability through the voices she creates for each character. Her expression of the emotional highs and lows they experience while searching for the person behind a plot to kill Holmes and Russell heightens the suspense. This production is the audio equivalent of a genuine "page-turner." Follows also reads the sequel, A MONSTROUS REGIMENT OF WOMEN. M.A.M.
