At the Saugus Public Library

Bestselling author Laurie King plans a Virtual Visit on Oct. 7

Laurie King, The New York Times bestselling author of the Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes series, will be visiting the Saugus Public Library via Zoom on Monday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m. Mystery lovers everywhere are welcome to meet the writer of one of the most celebrated mystery series, featuring Sherlock Holmes’ apprentice, Mary Russell, and the great detective himself. During this past January was the 30th anniversary of the publication of “The Beekeeper’s Apprentice,” the first book in the series. Follow the unlikely pair from their first meeting – when the great detective, now retired, mistakes 15-year-old Mary Russell for a boy – to their most recent adventure uncovering Sherlock Holmes’s family secrets in “The Lantern’s Dance.”
