About this listen

After Art in the Blood and Unquiet Spirits, Holmes and Watson are back in the third of Bonnie MacBird’s critically acclaimed Sherlock Holmes Adventures, written in the tradition of Conan Doyle himself.

It’s 1890 and the newly famous Sherlock Holmes faces his worst adversary to date - a diabolical villain bent on destroying some of London’s most admired public figures in particularly gruesome ways. A further puzzle is that suicide closely attends each of the murders. As he tracks the killer through vast and seething London, Holmes finds himself battling both an envious Scotland Yard and a critical press as he follows a complex trail from performers to princes, anarchists to aesthetes. But when his brother Mycroft disappears, apparently the victim of murder, even those loyal to Holmes begin to wonder how close to the flames he has travelled. Has Sherlock Holmes himself made a deal with the devil?

Critic reviews

"One of the best Sherlock Holmes novels of recent memory, at least as entertaining as Anthony Horowitz’s The House of Silk.... MacBird’s artistry will keep readers eagerly turning the pages just to see how she orchestrates the big reveal." (Michael Dirda, Washington Post)

Good story but the story seemed very short. I guess I am used to doubt figure hours via Laurie R. King. Good all the way around.

I really enjoy Bonnie's Sherlock stories! The Devil's Due was just as great as the last two and I can't wait for the next one!

Amazing

It's hard to say whether I more enjoyed reading "The Art in the Blood" or listening to "The Devil's Due". The first one hooked me on MacBird's writing. Listening to "The Devil's Due" had me riveted whether I was listening while relaxing, driving, walking or on my stationary bike. It kept me so engrossed, I resented being interrupted even by phone calls from friends and family (embarrassing but true). It was great company.

I couldn't wait to hear it...

One of the better Sherlock Holmes stories outside of the originals. Glad I got into this series.

Very enjoyable

In my reviews of the two previous Bonnie MacBird pastiches based on Sherlock Holmes, I stated she captured Doyle's style of writing better than most modern authors have. She continues that tradition with this volume, although I believe this is the slightly weaker piece in the trio.

The narrator, who also read Book Two, does a far better job in this work, which makes all the difference in an audio book. Overall this tome was entertaining and generally a good read. Not my favorite in the series, but close.

Interesting story in its own right
