Unabridged Audiobook
I love Sherlock Holmes so completely enjoyed it. I liked how the authors cleverly updated it to the 21st century along with setting the stage on how the characters become involved with each other. Very enjoyable. I can't wait for the next book.
I throughly enjoyed this book! I didn’t want it to end and the narrator was excellent!
great narration
This book is a great listen! I really enjoy it. The narrator was excellent. Yes I would recommend this book to all ages. No crazy sex , No gory details. A well written story bringing Holmes to today’s time line. I’ll read more from this author! Thank you for a great listen!
Great story. I will definitely look for other story from this author.
The Narrator was amazing! And the novel was a wonderful and unique take on the classic Sherlock cast of characters with some new ones along the way. Very enjoyable listen.
Excellent book! If you are a fan of the BBC series Sherlock, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, you will like this magnificent reinterpretation of Sir Conan Doyle's beloved characters. Did not want it to end! Narration was top notch!
Clever, intriguing, imaginative. Considering it is written in tandem with Sarah Naughton it is surprisingly complete and well constructed
Have always enjoyed stories of Shylock Holmes . This was definitely a good one with 5 stories rolled into one ! Look forward to to future ones of this series !!
It took me while to get comfortable with the odd environment of the story. A future with Victorian overtones. But a novel concept and quite gripping. Great narration with excellent voice characterisation.
Starts a little slow in providing the objectives of the story. Once the Sherlock character becomes apparent, the story takes shape and gets interesting. We then are working with the characters to figure out the who, what, when, where, and why, which is the best part of the book. The author does a great job characterizing Dr. Watson, and less so for Sherlock, but I think that's on purpose, since this is #1 in this storyline. The narrator uses his British accent and different voices for the characters, which made the story more enjoyable for me.
Excellent story, great twist being set in the future
it is set in a dystopian London. Think steam punk meets murder and other mysteries. The story was engaging character wise but the mystery part was not that surprising or believable. It took me some time to get used to the narrator. Bit of a mid Atlantic accent and soft/slow narration that was sending me to sleep. But it was still an engaging listen.
I found it VERY entertaining! Some confusion for me on the time represented, one minute they are using computers and the next an oil lamp in the parlor. Wasn’t Mycroft Holmes a brother in the original story? Those kind of things were interrupting. Loved the narrator!
This was a very pleasant surprise from my VIP monthly selection. I will definitely try the second book in the trilogy based on how much I enjoyed this fast moving story.
Interesting story, especially how it was updated to the future what seems to be pretty realistic already now.
I love anything and everything by Anthony Horowitz … add Sherlock Holmes and it has to be a winner! Interesting premiss, bringing Sherlock into a frighteningly plausible future. I only gave it 4 stars because I found it a bit hard to follow and got lost in the myriad of characters. The narrator was terrific and I’m looking forward to the next installment!
Really great. Got it as a vip credit, now purchasing the second one. Great narrator, quick but intricate story that draws you in, and really interesting new-yet-not setting. Glad to be introduced to these authors. More central female characters would have been nice but nothing’s perfect.
This was great fun-revisiting familiar characters in a totally different attitude. excellent narration. i look forward to book 2. There are many questions still in need of answers.
Great book and liked the narrator and use of different voices for each character.
Brilliant, can’t wait for the rest of this series. Narrator was excellent.
Excellent story- would definitely recommend!
Very entertaining
Excellent and entertaining listen! Being a Sherlock Holmes fan and not knowing how he actually got started in the detective business with very little background on his younger years, this book really set the tone and believability in his past life-story. The characters were well developed and interesting to learn about and the narrator was absolutely fabulous! I can't wait for a sequel to be released.
True to the characters with a fun twist. Waiting for the next one.
Fun steampunk take on Sherlock Holmes set in London in the near future. Interesting twist on the backstory of Holmes, with Watson a full character. Highly recommend.
There are so many Sherlock ‘universes’ it’s beginning to feel like Spider-Man . I’m in two minds whether it’s right to recreate from these classics but I can’t deny Horowitz has done a fantastic job as usual and this is a thoroughly good listen with excellent narration.
Great story, very cleverly building in all the well-known details and characters but constantly intriguing. My first audiobook and I didn’t want to turn it off - excellent narration.
Fabulous story and great narration.
Good mystery plot. I really like how the characters were introduced, especially Sherlock! That was brilliant!! Great story and narration - enjoyable voice and pace.
Very disappointed. I enjoyed this story and couldn't wait to open the next one. Then I found that it hasn't been published yet and I will have to wait.
Fabulous! Interesting plot development, true characters, exciting and fun.
Excellent listen
I really enjoyed this book and the narrator but I will say that I love Sherlock Holmes
loved the premise….great twist on an old story! Lots of fun and I’m looking forward to the next book!
A great book for Sherlock Holmes fans
Love SH but this takes the adventures to a new level! Give me more!!!
Very entertaining. I liked the tie in references with Arthur Conan Doyle’s work and look forward to more. I liked the period setting and foresee a Netflix series. Dan
Horowitz is brilliant as always
Clever storytelling with great narration!
Great book. Retained quirkiness of Sherlock. Good storyline. Kept me interested. Looking forward to next book.
