About this listen

Here are a few essays about puzzlers in and about Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories: "The Devil's Foot" and the author's cautious inserts of the Christian sacraments he learnt as a boy; a liturgical opposite - the Hebrew rabbi in "Scandal in Bohemia"; the "Boscombe Valley" murder reemerging in a contemporary divining of a murder at Pemberley; the definitive solution and identification of Jack the Ripper - search no further; and the Salvation Army and suffragettes picked on and prodded in "The Red-Headed League".

I was provided a copy of this audiobook at no cost for review purposes courtesy of MX Publishing.

I found the essay discussing The Devil’s Foot and its Christian religious symbolism particularly interesting, as well as the one about The Red Headed League, the Red Cross, and suffragettes. The discussion of Mycroft’s actions in the Greek interpreter was a good read as well.

The main critique I have is the structure of the piece. I felt like I was experiencing some whiplash when going from essay to essay—not helped by the narration.

The narrator didn't really pause, which made it difficult for me to know when we were changing from essay to essay or idea to idea or even from narrative to a quote and back.

Overall, this audiobook was an okay experience.

Interesting essays, narration not very good

A look at several of Sherlock Holmes’ cases, in relation to the real world. This is a cleaver intersection of reality and Sherlock’s cases. I enjoyed it and it appears longer than it is.
