Sherlock Cat and the Thwarted Thespian

De: Heather Edwards

Narrado por: Michael Langan

The director threw himself into a seat in the front row of the theater before hollering, "Start at the beginning of the play!"
That's when the magic happened.
The thick, red curtains swept apart, and, suddenly, we were looking at 221B Baker Street! It was just as I'd imagined it: there were two chairs in front of a fireplace, a skull sitting on the mantelpiece next to a stack of letters that had been stabbed into the wood with a knife. There was even a violin sitting on one of the chairs. And then, Sherlock Holmes, The Great Detective himself, came onstage, wearing a swirling cape and deerstalker hat! Beside me, Sherlock's eyes widened. "Watson, do you know what this means?" he whispered.
"No," I whispered back. "What?"
"It means," Sherlock gasped, "that Sherlock Holmes is real!"
And once again, the game was afoot!

A fun mystery story with detective cats!

Sherlock Cat and the Thwarted Thespian by Heather Edwards is a children’s book and wonderful introduction to my favorite genre. My elementary (no pun intended) age grandson and I listened to this book. We both enjoyed it very much although we laughed at different things. He liked the parts with the dumpster and swinging from the cat walk. I enjoyed the Holmes similarities and clever references throughout. I particularly liked the names of Sherlock Cat’s 3 mice toys. This book and the wonderful narration succeeded in sparking an interest in mystery books in my grandson! Michael Langan always performs so magnificently that the book and characters come to life. I hope there will be more in this series for young people and their young-at-heart adults. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.
