About this listen

January 1888: Dr. John H. Watson has returned to 221b Baker Street, just weeks after a personal tragedy has left him bereaved and bereft. Feeling like a broken man, his plans and dreams lying in ruin, he slowly tries to make his way forward, with the help of Sherlock Holmes and Mrs. Hudson. Unexpectedly, he finds himself standing in the path of a madman—who suddenly and irrationally blames Watson for his apparent defeat.

Meanwhile, Holmes has tried to distract his grief-stricken friend by telling stories of his past cases, including how, a decade before, he recovered a mysterious relic—The Eye of Heka—stolen from the British Museum. But Holmes’s plan to show Watson this unique and ancient idol goes suddenly and terribly wrong as both are swept into a series of events, one tumbling rapidly upon another, that lead to thefts, murders, and possibly a war that might quickly escalate to draw in nations from most of the world. And always there is the madman in the shadows—waiting for his next chance to attack....

From The Notebooks of Dr. John H. Watson comes another story by Sherlockian David Marcum, author of over 80 traditional Holmes pastiches, including those collected in The Papers of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes and A Quantity of Debt, and Sherlock Holmes - Tangled Skeins.

Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the man described by the estimable Dr. Watson as “the best and wisest...whom I have ever known.”

The game is afoot!

Shortly after the death of Doctor Watson’s first wife, while trying to get a bit of peace of mind, he visits Sherlock Homes and is dragged in to a search for the “Eye of Heka” and all the crazy attempts to explode into a rebellion against the British Empire. Loved it!!

David Marcum is truly a master of the Sherlock Holmes pastiche genre. This book is an excellent addition to an already extensive library of work with the adventures of Holmes and Watson carrying on beyond the Canon. The interesting take on the story, and perhaps its only weakness, is that the mysterious marriage of Watson to a woman named Constance drives much of the story. Because of this fact, the book is more Watson-centric than most. In choosing to create a narrative about a character that Doyle himself wrote not much of anything, the story bogs down a bit when lengthy scenes are devoted to this subject. However, the overarching story, the relationship between Holmes and Watson, especially the revelation of Holmes' more tender side, is refreshing.

Luke Barton is once again master of the spoken word, bringing to life all of the characters in a unique way that only he can pull off.

Another excellent David Marcum book!

Terrific and beautifully narrated! The depth of Watson’s thoughts and feelings were believable and more complex than in older stories. It Made Watson more likable.
