The God of the Hive by Laurie R. King

King is a fabulous writer who often goes into too much detail and stalls. The God of the Hive maintains a good pace and continues on where The Language of Bees left off. This book is much more enjoyable, I think because of the way she tells the story from Microft, Sherlock and Mary's point of view. This is the 10th book in the Mary Russell series and King's craftsmanship and care of Conan Doyal's previous work make these tales little treasures. One of the strongest in the series.
