Sherlock at his finest

that I wanted more narrator was great looking forward to
I received this book in exchanged for an honest review

Compelling Story

This mystery was both interesting and compelling. Kept me guessing til the end. Very good performance.

Homes is back

Margaret Walsh has brought Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's prominent character back to life, This was an excellent book it is really written in the homes fashion.

Ancient Egyptian Curses or Murder?

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are engaged in case that involves a number of bizarre murders seemingly related to a newly discovered mummy’s tomb. It was fun to see the large group of Holmes’ cohorts and other familiar characters working together on the case. The narration by Kevin E Green is wonderful. He brought the characters to life with different voices. His narration adds greatly to my enjoyment of the book. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

Once more to the fogs of Victorian London

This was definitely a fun romp. At first, I feared it would have Holmes traipsing off to Egypt, and was a bit concerned. But no, the author brought Egypt to Holmes, and to us.

The story was well told, and I didn’t see the solution faster than the Great Detective. Definitely had an authentic feel to it, save for a bit more fussing about meals than I recall from the Canon. But that small fault aside, I enjoyed this trip back to Baker Street.

As to the narrator. Well done! He did something I have so far not heard other readers of Holmesian literature do. He made Holmes a bass. He is almost always a tenor or a baritone, perhaps in unconscious homage to Sir Basil Rathbone. But this voicing gave him extra gravitas, and definitely enhanced my enjoyment of the story.

He also did a solid job making all the other characters vocally distinct, and didn’t noticeably muff the pronunciation of any words. All in all, listening to this story was like napping on a fluffy cloud.

So I can wholeheartedly recommend this audiobook. Enjoy!

A Classic Style Holmes Mystery

I have long been a fan of the Sherlock stories, especially since they seen to be ideally suited for audio presentations. This book is all of that and more ... adding in a connection to egypt, mummies and a curse. It is a short adventure that is fairly typical for the genre, but I am adding a star ... just because it is Sherlock.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sherlock Investigates Death by Drowning in Sand

Sherlock Investigates Death by Drowning in Sand. Our favorite detective, and Dr. Watson, are back in a tale Doyle would have enjoyed as they investigate a series of Murders. The first victim is a doctor, dead by drowning in sand in this London office. Authentic to the original characters, this is an engaging and entertaining story.

Solid Egypt themed pastiche tale

This was a quick and fun mystery. I was surprised that the notion of a curse wasn’t utilized more (as in say a mummy appearing to come to life), but that aside I enjoy when Sherlock Holmes dabbles in the world of early Egyptology and this certainly was no exception. Worth a listen.
