About this listen

I am afraid that I, Sherlock Holmes, must act as my own chronicler in this singular case, that of the Whitechapel murders of 1888. For the way in which the affair was dropped upon my doorstep left me with little choice as to the contrary. Not 12 months prior, the siren's call of quiet domesticity and married life had robbed me of Watson's assistance as both partner and recorder of my cases. Thus, when detective inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard required a lead - any lead - I found myself forced to pursue Jack the Ripper alone and without the aid of my faithful friend. And all for the most damnedable of reasons:

Early on in my investigations, Dr. John H. Watson, formerly of 221b Baker Street, emerged as my prime suspect.

Wow,
The author M. K. Wiseman have done the unbelievable twist, what an incredible imagination connecting two stories into one making them fit perfectly and then another twist, truly amazing !!!

It took me a bit to get used to the Narration by Bernard Faricy because of his strong accent, I was ok with it after getting used to it but if you’ve asked me what to change in this audiobook it would be the narrator because most people on the globe learn American English from movies and TV, on the other hand it makes the audiobook more credible so it’s a tough one, would changing sell more ?

I’ve loved it,
and absolutely recommend !

Without a doubt Awesome.

The loyal and personal friend of the Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, is Jack the Ripper? There will be blood but could Watson, high on opium, really commit the most horrid murders of all time? You'll just have to find out and yes you really do want to know.

Say it ain't so.

I can’t understand why people complain about the performance as most of the book is Sherlock Holmes commenting or telling the story so the voice wouldn’t really need to change
I enjoyed the story especially the twist at the end some of that I figured out for myself before the end but it’s still worth a listen

I Enjoy it

This is a classic Holmes story, but with a big twist. I like that it uses the real-life Jack the Ripper case as its basis, but with the twist that Holmes' companion John Watson is a suspect in the case. Supposedly set some time after Watson has married and moved out of Baker Street, he seems to be acting rather strangely, is this because he is guilty?

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, especially the twists, and I thought that the narration was extremely well done, the intonation just right for the period.

Unfortunately for me it was all spoilt by the fault that seems to befall all American authors who write new Sherlock Holmes stories and that is the use of American expressions rather than the terms that British people, would use, the classic example of this is the use of 'blocks' to denote distance, anyone from that period would measure a distance in yards, not blocks, also no-one would use the word 'stoop' to denote part of a house. It is a great pity but these errors really grate on a British English speaker. I also found the character of Holmes rather unbelievable in this story, he is far too emotional and uses far too 'flowery' language, to the extent that a lot of the descriptive prose is almost a parody of the way that a Victorian person would speak.

These errors would be easily corrected by a decent editor and would make the book far more believable.

Great twist on a Sherlock Holmes story

I can’t comment on the story, I gave up after about an hour. The narration was just awful, with very little to differentiate between the main characters voices to the point that it became confusing and annoying.

Just awful
