The Beekeeper's Apprentice

I won't lie, it took my wife suggesting this a few times for me to finally decide to pick it up. I found the beginning, the genesis of the relationship with Russel and Holmes interesting. However, the middle really bogged down for me. I just didn't feel there was that much “sleuthing”, and that was what I came to the book for. It was interesting enough that I may read another in the series, but I wasn't running out to grab the next book.
