I think part of the reason that I love "Beekeeper's Apprentice" is because I was 16/17 when it came out, so roughly Mary's age, and, well.. it fell right into my own wish fulfillment at the time. Of course, then LRK had to botch it up by having too much Mary and not enough Holmes for my taste in later books (and I actually enjoyed them much more overall pre-marriage than post).

Though I am now highly amused that Mary ends up with her own "migrating wound".. er.. scars. "Locked Rooms" just killed it for me.

As for her portrayal of Watson, I just chalked it up to she chose Jeremy Brett's Homes, and Nigel Bruce's Watson. *shrug* Nigel Bruce's Watson is rather obtuse, in my opinion.

Then again, I'm just a casual fan, not a Holmesian or even a Sherlockian.

As for the age gap? It's not inconceivable for some young women to prefer much older men. *raises hand* Er, I'm no longer THAT young, but you get my point.

It's... not just the age gap, though? Although 39 year age gap is considerable. It's that a man in his fifties starting his relationship with his future wife when she's fifteen feels really icky.

I like age gaps and older men, myself. But this would be like dating someone older than my dad. O_O
