About this audiobook
Raymond Bannister is a wealthy man living a secure life. He is found slashed down in a dirty alleyway, in a part of town he had no reason to be in. The crime and the crimescene are inexplicable to Chief Inspector Lestrade, and he seeks the help of his new consultant detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
Though this first mystery is quickly solved, it has deep connections to a far larger, and far grimmer case. We are lead back in time, to India, and the disturbing origins of a group of children who call themselves 'the Irregulars'. Can this be the key to Sherlock Holme's identity? And who is the new, mysterious and cruel new player who has entered the London underworld? His signature is just theletter M.
Meanwhile the emotions between Missy Hudson and John Watson are stirring, as a certain Mary Morstan comes knocking at their door on Baker Street.
Listen to the second installment of the Becoming Sherlock series.
What listeners have said:
- 'As good as the previous novel
Twisting plot. Excellent narration. This second novel builds on the characterisations of the first and fleshes out some of the 'Sherlock' backstory. However, it leaves enough unexplained to make you want to move on to novel number three.'
- 'Excellent narration and brought new dimensions to familiar characters
I enjoyed the other Anthony Horowitz takes on Sherlock, Moriarty and the House of Silk were both very good and different in their own right. This again is familiar but different.'
- 'Riveting
Hope there is a book 3 as I will be very disappointed if I cannot hear more of these dystopian adventures'
- 'A very clever concept perfectly executed.
This is clever stuff. Apocalyptic London. Re-imagined Watson & Holmes. A solid storyline. Intriguing characters. Hugely enjoyed both the books in this series. More please.'
