The audiobook was superb. 

This is a marvelous recreation of the world of Sherlock Holmes. It’s a mix of supernatural fantasy and mystery, with a richly imagined Victorian London peopled by hellhounds, angels, vampires, stolid constables, and cunning criminals. The “Holmes” and “Watson” characters are delightful, and the references to the Conan Doyle stories are clever and plentiful. 

I was sorry when it ended!
