It is 1884, and when a fellow landlady finds her lodger poisoned, Mrs. Hudson turns to Sherlock Holmes.
The police suspect the landlady of murder, but Mrs. Hudson insists that her friend is innocent. Upon investigating, the companions discover that the lodger, a civil servant recently returned from India, was living in almost complete seclusion, and that his last act was to scrawl a mysterious message on a scrap of paper.
The riddles pile up as aged big game hunter Allan Quatermain is spotted at the scene of the crime when Holmes and Watson investigate. The famous man of mind and the legendary man of action will make an unlikely team in a case of corruption, revenge, and what can only be described as magic …

A great addition to the series
Coming from the more supernatural stories in the series, this felt more grounded in reality and the crossover with another character’s lore was an interesting direction. The story and style fits well with the Holmes universe.
As ever, the narration is perfect!

Fantastic story - starts unassuming but develops to enormous story. Fantastic continuity to Sherlock Holmes stories.

I like the story, narration and voice actor recreating different accents - fantastic listen that proves that James Lovegrove can write a fantastic Sherlock Holmes story.

Enjoyable- Always love the Sherlock Holmes world this author creates
I’ve listened to all this author’s free audible books multiple times and really enjoy the Holmes world he creates. I thought it was about time I paid for one! I’ve read quite a few extensions of the canon Sherlock Holmes by various people, and this author definitely does it best. New stories with the original spirit captured, but brought to modern day (for instance the words used around race). This isn’t my fave of his stories, but all very enjoyable- I’ve listened to it twice and I only downloaded it a few days ago.

This author does the best of the Holmes covers.
Another enjoyable outing with Holmes and Watson. I really enjoy this narrator too. I think the mispronounciations commented upon by others are deliberate. His style seems to me to be in keeping with the period.

Vastly entertaining plot and characters
While we need not question Lovegrove's enchanting depiction of the famous detective and his faithful sidekick, we can be pleasantly surprised by the insidious evil illustrated in his enemies. A witch doctor , sidekick and evil corporate raiders make compelling and enjoyable victims to Sherlock's powers of deduction and science will always triumph over black magic in Victorian England.
