About this listen
Sherlock and Lucy meet their wildest case yet.
At the London Zoo, Sherlock and Lucy must discover how an enormous cobra escaped its cage and killed a rhesus monkey. Dr. Watson's old school chum is doing research on anti-venom treatments for the military. He was responsible for all the reptiles at the zoo. Unless Sherlock and Lucy can learn the truth, he'll be blamed and his career will be ruined.
Then Lucy discovers the same cobra coiled in the researcher's zoo office, ready to strike. Nearby, the man who reported the death of the rhesus monkey lies dead. Watson's researcher friend is showing signs of serious emotional distress. Now Holmes, Watson, and Lucy must risk their own lives in a late-night vigil to reveal the killer.
For aficionados of Conan Doyle's nostalgia, Agatha Christie's masterful misdirection, and Lee Child's heart-pounding thrillers, "The Cobra in the Monkey Cage" offers an untamed twist. It's Sherlock meets the Animal Planet, with a dash of danger for extra bite.
Ready for a zoo visit like no other? "The Cobra in the Monkey Cage" presents a mystery as unpredictable and enthralling as nature itself. Join the hunt where the line quickly blurs between predator and prey. Scroll up and One-click now!

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Becky watches from a distance as Flynn agrees to crash a duchess's high-society costume ball in order to help a young friend. Then they both see Flynn's friend being murdered.

Sherlock and Lucy must juggle a circus of suspects to find a killer. On a cold March morning in London, Sherlock and Lucy are called to The Olympia Amphitheater, where a clown, lifeless, hangs suspended from the high wire. They have only a few hours to find the killer before the next performance. If they fail, the circus grounds will soon be filled with angry and fearful spectators, and the killer may strike again. The circus world is close-knit and secretive, so Lucy and Jack masquerade as the replacement act for the clown. Dressed as magicians, they bring the ever-inquisitive little Becky...

A fallen body at the Royal Observatory sends Sherlock and Lucy on a stellar quest. In the eerie pre-dawn glow of Victorian Greenwich, a young astronomer's assistant has mysteriously fallen to his death, seemingly from the sky. Black smoke and a flash of green light seen by the Astronomer Royal evoke the Martian attack from the popular novel "The War of the Worlds," and the assistant had been studying Mars. Sherlock and Lucy must take action. Lucy searches the assistant's home, but finds it plundered. Holmes learns that an anarchist bombed the observatory exactly six years ago. The ...

But he's besotted with a cult of aristocratic sun worshippers and can't seem to help himself. Then the bodies of two men are found inside the nobleman's home. His sister, an elderly spinster, fears that she has killed them both. The police are ready to ...
