Featured Article: The Sherlock Holmes Universe, Explained


The world’s most famous detective almost didn’t survive the 19th century! In our shared joy of finding a new corner of the Sherlock Holmes universe, Holmes fandom appeared inextricable from the universe it helped to build. Fans encouraged keeping the Holmes narrative alive in the 19th century; fan devotion fueled the Sherlock Holmes universe of book, film, TV, streaming, audio, and more. In the 21st century, the game has never been more afoot!

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed listening to this book. There were several interesting characters. I learned some history that I had previously been unaware of. I do enjoy fiction that weaves actual history into it. The narration was very good. He brought life to the characters and did well distinguishing them and with the various accents.

Very enjoyable

What did you love best about Mycroft Holmes?

The writers managed to capture the feel of the Holmes books while simultaneously presenting an entirely different type of story. It was a clever story with wildly intelligent characters and snappy dialogue. I found it very engaging.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters of Mycroft and Douglas were both fabulous. Douglas was as much the star of the story as Mycroft and their relationship was intriguing.

Have you listened to any of Damian Lynch’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to other Damian Lynch performances but I thought this narration was perfect.
