Her carefully-plotted, imaginative works often feature admirable heroines who bend societal norms in some way. Subtle undercurrents of feminism and theology are common. King's popular Sherlock Holmes series features Mary Russell, who is foremost Holmes's equally brilliant, strong-willed, partner-and, eventually, his near-scandalously younger wife.
