Story
London, 1922: Two years after helping Sherlock Holmes solve the Hangman Murders, American journalist Enoch Hale becomes even more intimately involved in another puzzling mystery. Langdale Pike, veteran purveyor of gossip to the trash newspapers, is poisoned while sipping tea with Hale - and apparently just as he is about to spill a secret more important than social gossip. With the unrequested aid of advertising copywriter Dorothy Sayers, Hale pursues a number of leads based on notes in Pike's pocket diary - including an interview with the formidable G.K. Chesterton.

Story
When misadventure led a schoolboy in London to employment at Baker Street, few could have guessed where his introduction to Sherlock Holmes would lead. But as the lad matures and he finds himself caught in the middle of a murder investigation, his friendship with Holmes and Watson lures him into the role of detective. 'Billy' documents his experiences, and soon his sleuthing skills not only bring him to another murder, but also lay the foundation for his metamorphosis into a famous mystery writer.

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

The mysterious casebook of Howlett
As an avid fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's timeless detective tales, I was both thrilled and skeptical when I stumbled upon Nick Howlett's "Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Ordered Occupations," beautifully narrated by the talented Adam Blanford. It is no small feat to tread in the footsteps of a literary giant like Doyle, but Howlett not only manages to pay homage to the original works but also brings his own flair to the table, creating an enthralling narrative that seamlessly fits within the Sherlock Holmes universe.
Let's start with the narration by Adam Blanford, whose voice becomes the vessel for the unfolding mysteries within the audiobook. Blanford's delivery is nothing short of spectacular, capturing the essence of the characters with precision. His vocal nuances give life to each personality, from the inquisitive and logical Holmes to the ever-loyal Dr. John Watson. Blanford's mastery of pacing and tone adds an extra layer of suspense, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats throughout the entire adventure.
One of the most commendable aspects of Blanford's narration is his ability to channel the spirit of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His voice echoes the same cadence and charm found in the original Holmes stories, creating an authentic experience for listeners. It's almost as if Doyle's literary spirit has found a new vessel in Blanford, and together they transport us back to 221B Baker Street. The meticulous attention to detail in the narration mirrors the distinctive style of Doyle, ensuring that fans of the original series will feel right at home.
Moving on to the writing by Nick Howlett, it is evident that he approached the task of crafting a Sherlock Holmes story with both reverence and innovation. "The Adventure of the Ordered Occupations" is a captivating tale that seamlessly integrates itself into the existing Sherlock Holmes canon. Howlett's writing is not a mere imitation; it's a celebration of the detective genre and a testament to his understanding of the characters and their world.
Howlett's narrative prowess shines through in the intricate plot that he weaves. The story kicks off with Dr. Watson thrust into the midst of a hansom cab accident, and from there, a cascade of mysterious events ensues. The plot's foundation rests on Watson's medical expertise, a clever choice that adds a unique layer to the investigation. It's a testament to Howlett's understanding of both the Holmesian universe and medical practices of the time, making the story not only intellectually stimulating but also historically immersive.
The author's skillful use of suspense and deduction mirrors the original Holmes stories, leaving listeners guessing and eagerly anticipating each revelation. Howlett pays homage to Doyle's legacy by maintaining the perfect balance between intricate detail and brisk pacing. The banter and camaraderie between Holmes and Watson, a hallmark of the original stories, are brilliantly captured by Howlett, making it feel like the duo never left the pages of Doyle's works.
What sets "The Adventure of the Ordered Occupations" apart is its ability to transport readers into the heart of Victorian London, immersing them in the foggy streets and gas-lit alleys that are synonymous with Holmesian mysteries. Howlett's descriptive prowess is reminiscent of Doyle's own, creating a vivid tapestry of the era that serves as the perfect backdrop for the unfolding drama. It's a testament to the author's commitment to maintaining the authenticity of the setting.
As the mystery deepens and Holmes unravels the intricacies of the case, the stakes heighten, and the story takes unexpected turns. Howlett's narrative choices and plot twists are not only engaging but also respectful of the intelligence of the audience. The ability to keep seasoned Holmes enthusiasts guessing is no small feat, and Howlett accomplishes it with finesse.
"Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Ordered Occupations" is a triumph on multiple fronts. Nick Howlett's writing seamlessly blends with the original Holmes canon, while Adam Blanford's narration breathes life into the characters with a finesse that rivals the greats. The audiobook is a testament to the enduring legacy of Sherlock Holmes and a must-listen for both longtime fans and newcomers to the detective genre. With its gripping plot, authentic atmosphere, and a nod to the classic Holmesian banter, this adventure is a delightful addition to the detective's illustrious repertoire.
