I have consumed just about every book that I can find on audible about the great Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. One of the things I had started doing was listening to the sample and the performance of the characters. In this case, the performance is extraordinary. The storyline is very entertaining. Even though..
Any supposed Sherlock Holmes story written by this author is terrible. They are forced. They lack in content. I have listened to over two months worth of audio books on audible alone in the last year and this is one of the worst. It is not a s h story it is a mystery he..
I’m really enjoying Mr. Millet’s Sherlock Holmes tales. The plots are clever, the narration performed convincingly.
Really enjoyed the book and the series but the characterization of Watson is too much. He is almost stupid in his portrayal asking questions with obvious answers and having no understanding of solving crimes. For a sidekick who has been with Holmes for years it was disappointing. Holmes would do better with Rafferty going forward…
Review from The Disappearance of Sherlock Holmes →
Plot complicated and hard to follow. Narration a bit tedious and the accent not believable. On the whole, boring. In spite of 3 attempts could not finish it, very rare for me with audio books.

He was the biggest dumbass. Every single clue had to be explained to him by Sherlock. By this time in the story..
Review from The Ripperologists →
Gaspard’s characters are all intelligent, human, and in many cases quirky. This book is as good as his books about magicians, and like those books his characters are people we would enjoy knowing. The characters in this book are all Jack the Ripper experts. One is an older, retired Scotland Yard policeman, whose book is..
The author does a great job of bringing Sherlock to the US and creating stories that are not predictable nor cliche. I am not sure why the author feels the need to justify Sherlock’s presence in the US by weaving an elaborate prologue. It is unnecessary, boring, and adds nothing to the book. Next book..
It was a very awesome book love Sherlock Holmes oops listen to it on the way to work and on the way home sometimes bounce in between it it in 3 AM by Nick parag Can’t wait to hear more
The unmitigated change in tone from first person narrative, in past novels, to third person narrative, in this iteration, is a misguided and regrettable one. The pretense that we are hearing Watson share raw data straight from one of his beloved manuscripts makes for a style of storytelling which grows tiresome and amateurish… and very..
