About this listen

Lestrade panted, getting to his feet as the gang of Cheathams fell back. “Right now I can think of worse things than rescue by an amateur detective.”

“My dear Lestrade, we're simply ensuring the fight is fair.” Sherlock Holmes somehow dissuaded the truth of that by the way his lips were coiling up at the edges (without letting go of the pipe in his teeth). Perhaps it was because he was clearly in disguise as a seedy deckhand in Dutchman's sailing clothes. From behind him the little professional could see Dr. Watson, tarred like a sailor and armed with a wicked-looking blackthorn. “Well, then!” Lestrade crowed with his fist up and parallel to the looming swarm over the tavern. “Who is next?”

The story is mainly about Lestrade, with Holmes and Watson only playing tangential roles. It is interesting going behind the scenes at the Yard. The story ends rather abruptly (which I assume means there is a sequel planned). Narrator did a good job.

Lestrade is the focus

Not a Sherlock Holmes story. The first half of the book will bore you to tears and wishing for a quick death. The second half picks up the pace with a mildly interesting Lestrade love story that includes Gregson, Watson and ever so briefly the man himself but.... if you want a Sherlock detective story keep looking.
