Summary
The ghost of Sherlock Holmes is dead, but who will solve his murder?
The Great Detective's ghost has walked London's streets for an age, given shape by people's memories. Now someone's put a ceremonial dagger through his chest. But what's the motive? And who - or what - could kill a ghost?
When policing London's supernatural underworld, eliminating the impossible is not an option. DI James Quill and his detectives have learnt this the hard way. Gifted with the Sight, they'll pursue a criminal genius - who'll lure them into a Sherlockian maze of clues and evidence. The team also have their own demons to fight. They've been to hell and back (literally), but now the unit is falling apart....

A every day London story NOT
the shadow police are back on the case.
it could be a good idea to recap the earlier books before jumping in. unless your memory is a lot better than mine (not that hard). I have grown to like the team and felt that this book (although very good ) a little rushed in places and did not feel for some of the lesser characters has much as I could have done. On the whole a most enjoyable experience, now I have to wait for the next book.

A series getting better and better.
Thoroughly enjoyed this third outing for the Shadow Police - but it's the performance of Damien Lynch that sets this out from many other audio series.

Great
I am a fan of this series so it may colour my judgement but I thought it was well written and well narrated. I'm happy to see them get a bit longer aswell.

Couldn't follow it.
What would have made Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? better?
I love Neverwhere, Pater Grant and The Obsidian Heart Trilogy but I just couldn't follow this at all. Maybe its because Audible chose to make book 3 its daily deal meaning that I hadn't a clue who the characters were. There doesn't seem to be a recap or if there was I missed it.
What will your next listen be?
The Back Road by Rachel Abbott.
What didn’t you like about Damian Lynch’s performance?
No complaints about the reading.
What character would you cut from Who Killed Sherlock Holmes??
None. Would have liked more of a recap for newcomers.
Any additional comments?
I'd try the first book in the series but may give it a while before I do as have so many other books lined up.

The story is jarring
The author has some entertaining ideas, but unfortunately he is not a very good storyteller. The movement of the plot and the actions of the characters often feels jarring. It leaves me more annoyed than entertained or satisfied.
Damyan Lynch on the other hand is delivering a solid performance.

don't listen if you can't give it 100%
With fictional characters coming to life but in different disguises, one losing his sanity, another losing her happiness and the story jumping 5 years back you need all your attention on it to follow it. The less than distinct character voices from the narrator doesn't help.

Struggling to retain wonder and horror of first book
The first book in the series introduced us to an amazing mix of police work and fantasy horror and while this third book builds on the underlying larger story arc of the smiling man the characters appeared more observers than participants. Narration as ever superb.

There are so many better writers in this genre
Well. I stuck it out until the bitter end but know it's time I'll never get back. Try Ben Aaronovitch as a starting point.

Not as good as the first two
I really liked the first two and was excited about this one. Same narrator, who did a good job. The story seemed a bit forced and all over the place.

Coming back from hell is hard
I'm still really enjoying this series about the Met dealing with London's magical crime It's darker and grittier than Rivers of London and has a similar storyline of an overarching villain who is gradually revealed. This one feels a little bit like filler until the next book but it's a good listen nonetheless and will definitely get the next one.
Damian Lynch is excellent. A good range of voices and the right tone for the story.
