About this listen

 From the author of The Darkened Village and The Medium of Death comes two new novellas detailing the exploits of the world’s first consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his faithful chronicler, Dr, John H. Watson.

In “The Extraordinary Disappearance of the Carstairs Special,” Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard hires Sherlock Holmes to find a train commissioned by a rich man that disappears—along with its passengers and crew—between two railway stations, vanishing without a trace. Someone proposes an unlikely solution to the mystery: Martians. Sherlock Holmes is not amused.

“The Temptation of Sherlock Holmes” finds Holmes’ faithful friend and companion, Dr. Watson, growing concerned that a tangled case involving a newly engaged man who fears for his life, an unscrupulous owner of an opium den, and a hostile Scotland Yard inspector may lure his friend back to dependence on the infamous seven-percent solution from which Watson has recently weaned him. But as unwelcome as that might be, is that the only danger?

These two novellas are sure to surprise and delight the many admirers of Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion, Dr. John H. Watson. Historical Mystery Traditional Detectives

Interesting short stories although a little far fetched but a worthwhile read. An American giveaway: people have brothers and sisters in most parts of the world and certainly in Holmes time - not siblings.

Interesting plot, a little far fetched
