About this listen
Sherlock Holmes confronts the unknown in ten baffling tales that test his formidable mental powers, as well as his unshakable conviction that the world is a sane and rational place.
From the enigma of spontaneous human combustion to the possibility that coins minted during the era of supposedly mythical Atlantis survived into Victorian times, London’s premier consulting detective is tested and tried as never before, as his investigations cross the path of Algernon Blackwood‘s famed psychic physician, Dr. John Silence.
Will Holmes's firm belief in an exclusively scientific reality hold––or must he at last give ground to the detested possibility that supernatural forces operate at will, unseen and only suspected?

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.

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
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover. It’s a grand old country house - the family home of his old friend - and a perfect haven. Or so it seems. But in the blistering summer heat, trouble is afoot. Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way.

WATSON THE SNUFFALIFFAGUS
What the HELLLLLLLL / HECK was the production team thinking when they allowed this narrator to make an absolute fool of himself and take the act of turning off listeners to a science of the highest order? First off, a good narrator is capable of the gamut of human voices. Second, he / she does not need to and knows better than to, pick a voice, for a main character no less, that is so unnatural and requires such oral acrobatics it’s employment is unsustainable at best and limiting to their livelihood by damaging the vocal box, at worst. Holy run on sentence Batman. Anyway… something to think about.

Interesting Mysteries
Good collection of interesting and clever stories. The performance was uneven - the narration and the voicing of Holmes were very good, but I must admit that the voicing of Watson was disappointing for me.

A bit too much Silence
Specifically, Dr John Silence. While he is an intriguing character, he took over too much of the narrative for my taste. I am glad to have been introduced to him, but I would rather he had featured in no more than one story.
As for the reader, he has three strikes against him. First, his vocabulary is simply not up to the task of reading a good Holmes story. The average person is this modern era uses perhaps 5000 words, while the writers of the Holmesian era (and their imitators) use perhaps 10000 or more. The more advanced and unusual vocabulary words in English cannot be “sounded out” successfully. One needs to look them up, and learn the correct pronunciation.
The second strike, as I have said before, is the way he voices Dr. Watson. I still hate it. The third strike is the equally annoying way he voices Dr. Silence. The ridiculous sing-song is like fingernails on the chalkboard of my soul.
Still and all, this is not bad. If you don’t expect too much from it, you may enjoy it.
