About this listen
Four decades. Four cases. One solution.
From the plains of Afghanistan to the alleyways of Victorian London, from the dark heart of the English countryside to the ruin of Europe after the Great War, join Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson in a quartet of astonishing new investigations which span their lifelong friendship and beyond....

Critic reviews
Obviously not as good as classic ACD, but there is definitely strong parallels with e.g The Crooked Man and maybe A Study In Scarlet or the Resident Patient. Anyway, the writers have done a petty good job.
Audio quality is fine, production is decent.
I would say however that these don't really work in the Audible format. There are four stories on here, about 80 chapters - but none of the chapters are named, so you can't eg fall asleep when the story ends because you don't know which chapter is which.
Also there is interviews with the authors between the stories - this kind of breaks the 4th wall and sounds like an ego massage exercise for the writers. No offence chaps but do we need an interview with you? It takes away from the pleasure of getting lost in the stories.
If each story was in its own chapter, that would be much more practical. As it stands this is the first and last Big Finish production I'll get through Audible - it's just a weak platform.
Ok stories, impractical format

The characters created by Conan Doyle have been treated to all sorts of adventures by many authors since the original stories were published, but none as dire as this. Between the dead rising, mystic properties of a blue plant cultivated in Afghanistan, (now what might that allude to …..?!), the gift of eternal youth, the creation of a new country to conquer Europe and beyond - I began to wonder if the authors had accidentally ingested to much of their own blue flower ……..
Long musical passages to end a chapter; poor editing by the publisher - no index and 83 varying length chapters - and a total nonsensical self promotional interview with the author between chapters and the artistes at the end. They really must have loathed their listeners. I’ll certainly look for more output from this stable: to ensure I avoid it.
The biggest load of …… polite words fail me.
