Summary:
Sherlock Holmes and Watson get called in to investigate a series of threats made to a railroad mogul.
Additional Comments:
• The case kind of meanders all over the place. I almost stopped in the first 25 minutes when it was nothing but babbling about the authenticity of the case.
• The beloved characters are true to form.
• Although the book dragged in many places, I would read more by this author.
• The narration works. This isn’t the best or worst narrator I’ve ever heard, and I would certainly listen to more of him as well.
• The conclusion is predictable yet satisfying. That sort of pattern is typical of mysteries. I’ve been watching a lot of Criminal Minds lately and many episodes have that sort of pattern where the tragedy leads to more tragedies.
Conclusion:
If you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan, yet have exhausted all of the official tales, this may satisfy your need for more of the famous detective.
