The consequences of this endeavor are both humorous and tragic as the greedy Silas brings his company to the brink of bankruptcy.

Story
The subject of Kokoro, which can be translated as 'the heart of things' or as 'feeling,' is the delicate matter of the contrast between the meanings the various parties of a relationship attach to it. In the course of this exploration, Soseki brilliantly describes different levels of friendship, family relationships, and the devices by which men attempt to escape from their fundamental loneliness. The novel sustains throughout its length something approaching poetry, and it is rich in understanding and insight.

A Fun Sherlock Tale
Sherlock Holmes and the Society Spiritualist by Ian Shimwell is yet another great Sherlock Holmes Adventure. It is full of ups and downs and ends on a great cliffhanger. The Narrator Kevin Theis did yet another wonderful job bringing Sherlock Holmes and Watson to life. The music that accompanied the book was really good and made certain parts feel even more tense. All in all I would recommend Sherlock Holmes and the Society Spiritualist to anyone who is a Sherlock’s Holmes fan.

3rd in a set of 4 great Holmes stories
This is the 3rd of four great Holmes stories about the Corvus conspiracy. They are also available in a completed volume. I grew up with a love for the old basil rathbone and Nigel Bruce black and white Holmes movies. This story is written and performed in that same spirit. Truly a wonderful addition to any Holmes fans collections. Highly recommended. The narrators deliver that old time movie/radio show feel. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Rathbone Style Adventure
This is a review for the Audible version.
Book 3 of the Corvus Conspiracy is a delightful listen, as always Kevin Theis is a remarkable voice actor. He plays all the parts, and they are amazing. I recommend you start from the beginning with Holmes & Watson Book 1. Or buy both full sets. This adventure builds on their past ones (in Ian Shimwell's books).
It would also be helpful to know all Sherlock canon. I recommend the reader pick up Fry's version.
This story follows the adventure of Sherlock trying to uncover the secrets behind the Corvus Brotherhood and also a spiritualist who may or may not be a con artist.

That was very confusing!
This particular "mystery " left me still up in the air, about the spiritualist and her involvement in the "Dolly" apparition.
Perhaps the next episode should shed more light and answer my questions.

An improvement over the first book
The author is improving it his portrayal of Doctor Watson is painful. Wish I could say otherwise but that part hasn’t changed improved since the first book in the series

Interesting
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This was an interesting story. It didn’t have the “wow” factor that normally happens in a Sherlock Holmes story. But it was still good. I did enjoy it. And I do recommend it as it helps give you clues to the overall series.
