About this listen
Dogged by depression, doubt, and - as a trip to the Mayo Clinic has revealed - emphysema, 66-year-old Sherlock Holmes is preparing to return to England when he receives a shock: a note slipped under his hotel room door, from a vicious murderer he'd nearly captured in Munich in 1892. The murderer, known as the Monster of Munich, announces that he has relocated to Eisendorf, a tiny village near the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
If Holmes is not what he once was, the same can be said for Eisendorf: once a thriving community founded by German idealists but now a dying town with only 40 residents - two of whom have, indeed, died recently under highly mysterious circumstances.
Replete with all the Gothic richness of Larry Millett's earlier Holmes novels, Sherlock Holmes and the Eisendorf Enigma links events in 1892 Germany with those in small-town Minnesota in 1920 in a double mystery that tests the aging detective's mettle - and the listener's nerve - as never before. Guided by Eisendorf's peculiar archivist and taunted by the Monster, Holmes finds himself drawn into the town's dark history of violence and secrecy and into the strange tunnels that underscore the old flour mill where answers and grievous danger lie in wait. No longer the cool, flawless logician of times past, Holmes must nonetheless match wits with a fiendish opponent who taunts him right up to an explosive final confrontation.

Excellent story
An excellent telling of a story worthy of a Sherlock Holmes investigation. So much exceeding my expectations.

Not the best
After listening to this book I was wanting the author to have written it about different characters and not Holmes and Watson. Not a great storyline as the mysterious events in the story led to a disappointing conclusion. Can’t believe Holmes would act like that anyway

Not bad, but not a Sherlock Holmes story
Okay enough premise but Holmes doesn't feel like Holmes - he's emotional, easily irritated, jumps to conclusions, and states his hypotheses long before finding evidence.
The accent of the narrator is varied but a bit hard to follow or distinguish between characters.

An uphill struggle
Unsure what it was I didn't like other than the story didn't get going, the accents were good but required extra attention to understand what was being said as they were thick Minnesota. Impressive for the narrator to try but not easy to listen to. Didn't finish, barely got half way.

Rubbish
This is complete drivel. How this ever got published is beyond me. Avoid like the plague.
