About this listen

A sequel to Shadowfall, this novel continues the adventures of Holmes as a man of two worlds, gifted with both deductive and magical powers.

The convalescing Watson's country holiday is brought to an abrupt end when an eccentric recluse named Edgar Telfair demands that Holmes investigate his daughter's disappearance. Holmes' refusal to take the case is followed by Telfair's sudden, horrific slaying. The act revives Watson's suppressed memories of the Shadows and reintroduces him to Holmes' double life.

Together Holmes and Watson must find Alice Telfair, a witch whose shocking powers are obtained through blood magic, the vilest form of sorcery. Tracking her from Paris to Prague to America, they soon learn that she is traveling with a shadowy figure equally as dangerous. Old friends, including Lestrade and Mycroft, assist Holmes and Watson in their quest. In America, the pair enlists new allies: a Pinkerton agent with a past, a Seminole showman, a blind photographer whose cameras capture the spirit world, and a strange little boy destined for a frightening future.

But Holmes and Watson are being stalked, not only by Alice Telfair and her hideous assistant, but also by a mysterious interloper whose quest for justice stretches from beyond the grave.

For what it’s worth, this series of books is one of the handful of Holmes books which cross the line into fantasy novels. Some may find that tedious and childish. Others may regale in the opportunity to partake.

One thing that I believe should be a universal opinion, like the books or not, is that these are penned by one of several pastiche authors whom render Watson intolerably slow witted and heavy handed. I wouldn’t say it “ruined” things for me but it was definitely a source of aggravation. Watson is supposed to represent average intelligence, juxtaposed with Holmes’s uber-enlightened state of being. Not the lowest common denominator as he is here, next to a Holmes who is supposedly not of this earth. The classic duo worked for a reason and when the fundamentals of it are messed with, well 🤷🏼‍♂️…

A departure from the usual pastiche.
