I enjoyed this rather more than I expected! I have read a ton of Sherlock Holmes adaptations and this one was both creative and very well done. A solid mix of mystery, suspense, issues of the times, and character development. All while weaving in the original Holmes stories.

Good Listen, Good twist on the Sherlock Holmes character. I would listen to another in the series.

I'm usually not a huge mystery fan - when I do love a mystery, it's because of the characters, and the plot is incidental. And oh did I love the characters in this one. I can't wait for the next book to come out next year!

3.5 rounded up. It took a while to get interesting, but after Mrs. Watson was introduced I couldn't stop. And the audiobook narrator did a great job. Looking forward to the next one!
