From USA Today best-selling author Leonard Goldberg comes The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes, a new thrilling tale of the great detective's daughter and her companion, Dr. John Watson Jr., as they investigate a murder at the highest levels of British society.
England, 1914. Joanna Blalock's keen mind and incredible insight lead her to become a highly skilled nurse, one of the few professions that allow her to use her finely tuned brain. But when she and her 10-year-old son witness a man fall to his death, apparently by suicide, they are visited by the elderly Dr. John Watson and his charming, handsome son, Dr. John Watson Jr. Impressed by her forensic skills, they invite her to become the third member of their investigative team.
Caught up in a Holmesian mystery that spans from hidden treasure to the Second Afghan War of 1878-1880, Joanna and her companions must devise an ingenious plan to catch a murderer in the act while dodging familiar culprits, Scotland Yard, and members of the British aristocracy. Unbeknownst to her, Joanna harbors a mystery of her own. The product of a one-time assignation between the now dead Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler, the only woman to ever outwit the famous detective, Joanna has unwittingly inherited her parents' deductive genius.

What did you like best about The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes? What did you like least?
I love the idea of Sherlock Holme's having left behind a daughter. I could hardly bear listening to "her" though. So snooty and overdone.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes?
Perhaps the revealing of who her mother was.What three words best describe Steve West’s voice?
Nasal, snooty, overdone.Could you see The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Nope! The plot would have to be less obvious and the daughter more down to earth and less snooty.Any additional comments?
I had high hopes for this book even though I'd read some comments beforehand that indicated the same things I observed and didn't care for. I've been listening to the Sherlock Holme's anthology from Steven Fry (excellent) and The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes came across my radar. I thought it might make for an entertaining pause from the anthology - not because I needed a pause, but it just seem to fit, as something fun.I think I just really wanted there to be a daughter of Sherlock but if there was, I don't think the woman portrayed in this book would be her. She is beyond proper in her speaking and just so snooty and overdone and condescending at times. I find her fairly unbelievable. I think she could have had a softer side and even just not been so "right" and proper about everything all the time. The author tried so hard to make her into her father's offspring. And the periodic reminders that she is Sherlock Holme's daughter were tiring.
I don't know if this woman would come across with such airs if I read the book myself or if it was more about West's portrayal of her but honestly, I became exhausted with her voice - and with the same kind of snootiness that was given to some of the other voices too. Finally I stopped listening and I started Lilliam Boxfish Takes a Walk. What a relief! Seriously, I was so glad not be listening to "the daughter". But I had made up my mind that I would finish The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes and so today I am back to it (after taking a long walk with Lillian and loving ever moment of it). That voice is grating on me immediately but I guess I feel obligated to listen to the whole thing if I'm going to leave a not-so-good review, just to be sure. I'm on chapter 19 of 25 though, so I doubt I'll like it any better by the end. At least I'll know for sure.
Some people may really enjoy this story, and I really want to, but...aside from the character protrayal driving me nuts, the writing is pretty good but it doesn't come close to Doyle's ability to spin a mysterious crime tale.
I'd planned to buy a copy of the printed book for my shelf but I'm going to skip this one, and the sequel.
