About this listen

1888 - In the midst of the murderous phrenzy plaguing the streets of Whitechapel, a case of mistaken identity, a courier's dispatch containing a coded message, and an urgent request from Scotland Yard draw Sherlock Holmes into a case that uncovers criminal schemes fixed on removing the heads of the governments of England, France, and the German Empire.

Convinced these events are not simply calamitous coincidences, Holmes goes to his brother Mycroft, reasoning such endeavors must be orchestrated by a single malicious mastermind. With his trusted colleague, John Watson, at his side, as well as a rogues gallery of characters, old and new, Holmes throws himself into the fray.

With international implications, this case tests Holmes' abilities to their very limits, as he doggedly pursues the identity of the man behind the malevolence, and the destruction of such a Sinister House.

Unknown Mastermind

Holmes and Sherlock are battling an unknown criminal mastermind in this part one story. Interesting story, but was a little disturbed by the way the relationship between Holmes and Watson is portrayed. Look forward to Book 2.

Delicious!

There is a lot going on in this book! Instead of short stories, there are inter-twined plots, delightful bits of humor and wit and the characters are full of life and interesting. There are also Easter Egg type of gems for the finding - one of the very few classical pieces I know is by Erik Satie, and he just happens to be playing piano in this story. I just love that! Was Ormond Sacker was the original Watson? and/or the 1890's pathologist in Dr. Who?
I liked this book the first time I listened to it, and much more the second time I listened to it. I am so looking forward to the next in the series!
