Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula

The Classified Dossier

De: Christian Klaver

Narrado por: Andrew Fallaize

In this thrilling supernatural mystery, Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula must join forces to banish a terrible enemy.

Sherlock Holmes is dead. His body lies in a solitary grave on the Sussex Downs, England. But Dr. Watson survives and is now given permission to release tales in Sherlock’s “classified dossier”, those cases that are, dear listener, unbelievable - for their subject matter is of the most outré and grotesque nature.

In this thrilling first installment of The Classified Dossier, a Transylvanian nobleman called Count Dracula arrives at Baker Street seeking the help of Sherlock Holmes, for his beloved wife, Mina, has been kidnapped.

But Dracula is a client like no other, and Holmes and Watson must confront - despite the wild, unbelievable notion - the existence of vampires. And before long, Holmes, Watson, and their new vampire allies must work together to banish a powerful enemy growing in the shadows.

Very Entertaining

The idea of putting two of the best known literary characters in history is either brilliant or absurd. This book falls into the really cleverly done aspect with just the slightest hint of silliness. Once you get past the premise idea, you're in for an exciting read. I thoroughly enjoyed this books. Kudos to the author. Well done I say!

incredible story, lackluster reader

this was an incredible twist on the Sherlock home story. The narrator however, was really off. it just sounded weird. it's worth it for the story, but you really had to get over the reader a bit.

Good supernatural Sherlock Holmes.

great supernatural Sherlock Holmes story. I thought it was in line with other current stories. well read.

Felt very integrated into the original world of Holmes

Keeping this brief - I really LOVE these books. I really enjoyed the world’s colliding. Without spoiling anything, I did not like that in this world, the Bram Stoker book is an unapproved biography, and our Dracula here is separate from that book. I would have preferred that Dracula was Dracula. It would be as weird as if Klaver’s Holmes reference Doyle’s books.

Lastly, each narrator is great on their own, but three narrators for the three novels was disruptive.

Just go with it… Fun!!!

If you’re a fan of Sherlock & Watson and love Dracula you’ll have fun with this book. Just go with it and enjoy. The narrator did a good job.. Holmes is a bit different but Watson and Dracula are perfect.

Great mash-up!!!

I had been interested in this title for some time and I very much enjoyed listening through it. I like how the author weaves elements of characters from both literary worlds into a singular narrative. I’m eager to read more in this series provided there are more books.

Fun mash up

I enjoyed this mash up of genres. It felt very true to both and fun.

Solid performance but kinda boring

I didn’t mind the story, found myself putting it in 1.5 speed to get through it. I I try not to quit stories but some are hard not too. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind but - I would not repeat.

Unexpected but decent

One of the biggest elements of the story wasn’t one I liked, but overall a decent story.

Wonderful twist on the two tales

This was a really great book that was completely unexpected and the telling of the story. It was such an enjoyable story to listen to. I didn't want it to end!
