    Audible’s bold new addition to the Sherlock Holmes universe, Moriarty: The Devils Game, dares to ask: What if Holmes’ most villainous nemesis was actually an innocent man?

    Featuring Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings, Lost) in a riveting lead performance, Moriarty turns one of literature’s most famous rivalries on its head, recasting Professor James Moriarty as a desperate fugitive framed for murder–and hunted by dark forces who will stop at nothing to exploit his brilliance.

    Moriarty finds the professor on the heels of an earth-shattering mathematical breakthrough–a formula so powerful, it can predict the future–and at the scene of a gruesome murder he must solve to prove his innocence. With London’s sprawling underworld as their battleground, Moriarty and Holmes match their peerless intellects to gain the ever-shifting upper hand. But as their duel escalates, so does the deadly cost of pursuing the truth. “What will it take to get your justice?” Dr. Watson asks an utterly ensnared Moriarty, “And if do you get it… what will you become?”

    Vividly brought to life by a sensational cast and meticulously crafted sound design, Moriarty is a heart-pounding series filled with biting wit and shocking twists at every turn.

    Listen closely - and assume nothing. The game is afoot.

BLEW MY MIND!!!

Believe me, when I first saw the ad for this on Instagram, I thought "Whoa! I'll start listening to this" because I am a huge huge fan of Dominic and Billy (LOTR films) and they're in this together!
PLus, it's a story about Moriarty! Something I haven't seen or heard of before. So, really it is absolutely intriguing.
That twist in last few episodes was really something else. I did not thought of it :)
Amazing cast, brilliant storyline and twists! Just AMAZING! Super worth the time. I want more of these. It's so so good!

Exquisite story and performance !

I wasn't sure what to expect with this story, but it has been a joy to listen and travel along with the characters. I admit never having considered an alternate perspective in the Sherlock Holmes stories, and the juxtaposition of hero and villian have made a delightfully compelling story. I love it!!

Way better then expected!

I absolutely loved the twist on the traditional Sherlock Holmes story. I love the actors and the fact you can tell the characters apart when they are speaking. I highly recommend!
