From international bestselling author Anthony Horowitz (Midsummer murders, Foyles war, Alex Rider, Hawthorne) comes 3 new books about one of literatures most famous characters, Sherlock Holmes, like you have never heard him before. The Red Circle, first installment in the upcoming 3 book series "Becoming Sherlock" is a story set in a dystopian London in the near future. At the same time a passenger plane goes down in central London, Dr. Watson finds a man naked and beaten in the street. The man has no memory, no past but seem to inhabit exceptional gifts of detection. This is the start of a mystery that unravels rapidly with one burning question at the center of it, who is Sherlock Holmes?©2023 Storytel Original (P)2023 Storytel Original

Fun to spend a few hours with Sherlock again

The story and narration were excellent. It's as though Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman did another standalone Sherlock film, except it was audio. The narrator even makes his Sherlock character sound like Cumberbatch. I wasn't expecting a dystopian story, which is a genre I usually avoid (it's too close to home), but it was an interesting and fresh way to reintroduce well known characters. Horowitz is a masterful storyteller, so it's no surprise that this was such a compelling story. I'll be using my next 3 credits on the sequels.

clever, well-paced twist on the Holmes story

I’m a big fan of Horowitz but was unfamiliar with Naughton. She did a cracking good job with the story; the writing is excellent and the performance was great. Will be downloading the second part as soon as I click submit on this review!

Sherlock today!?

A story that only Anthony Horowitz could have pulled off, being Sherlock Holmes into the 21st century. Worth your reading.

such a jumble and start

the crazy mix of story references and establishment of players, place and time was thrilling.

Clever and Compelling

Loved the futuristic setting, as bleak as it was, and the inventive new “origin” stories of familiar characters.

Definitely, Sherlock Holmes but with a twist

I couldn't stop listening! It's a Sherlock Holmes story with a twist that really works.

Fun, new take on Sherlock!

Well paced and written. This is a fun new Sherlock series. I look forward to listening to the next installment.

Excellant

I loved this book. As a Sherlock Holmes Fan, I loved how the author weaved all the known Sherlock Holmes characters into a believable story and setting up, hopefully, a fun new series.

Great twist to the Sherlock characters.

This was a new variation to storyline but true to original characters. The audio was perfectly done.

The Holmes saga transformation in

For lovers of Holmes, the references to well known characters did not disappoint and the narrator sounded authentic
