About this listen

The new Sherlock Holmes novel from the New York Times best-selling author of The Age of Odin and Firefly: Big Damn Hero.

It is 1890, and in the days before Christmas, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are visited at Baker Street by a new client. Eve Allerthorpe - eldest daughter of a grand but somewhat eccentric Yorkshire-based dynasty - is greatly distressed, as she believes she is being haunted by a demonic Christmas spirit.

Her late mother told her terrifying tales of the sinister Black Thurrick, and Eve is sure that she has seen the creature from her bedroom window. What is more, she has begun to receive mysterious parcels of birch twigs, the Black Thurrick’s calling card....

Eve stands to inherit a fortune if she is sound of mind, but it seems that something - or someone - is threatening her sanity. Holmes and Watson travel to the Allerthorpe family seat at Fellscar Keep to investigate, but soon discover that there is more to the case than at first appeared. There is another spirit haunting the family, and when a member of the household is found dead, the companions realize that no one is beyond suspicion.

Excellent adaption

I could have easily believed this was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Story is engaging and the performance of voice actor is excellent

A Brilliant Holiday Murder Mystery

Sherlock Holmes and his physician-author companion John Watson visiting a soon-to-be-conditionally-rich, Yorkshire-Dynasty-descendant to solve her apparently-supernatural troubles, only to uncover and solve other mysteries in the same castle is the crux of this one's plot.

There's definitely the christmas element, but there's also the anti-father-christmas elements that are so amazingly touched upon.

The prose elicits such vivid mental images of the cold, gloomy North England Winters and the regal-yet-foreboding vastness of the Yorkshire Castle.

The story's so delightfully layered, that at each point in the story, one's left convinced a different inhabitant of Fellscar Keep is the culprit. And like always, one comes out that much wiser after the book's ending, thanks to Sherlock Holmes' through explanation of his sleuthing brilliance.

Dennis Kleinman's phenomenal narration made this all the more enjoyable to me in it's audiobook format!

Absolutely loved it!

Brilliant audiobook

This is a good audiobook. some aspects of the story were predictable however, the climax properly elaborates how every event fit in to make the whole. worthwhile way to pass time. Recommended.

Conan Doyle will not mind

Lovegrove has created Holmes and Dr Watson in a way that would please even Arthur Conan Doyle. Gripping... from the first page to the last word. And has twists quite literally after every few pages. - Arvind Passey - Blog: www.passey.info
