About this listen

The world’s first consulting detective sometimes needs a helping hand.

We join Holmes and Watson in three short cases.

"The Silence of Sherlock Holmes" has both Holmes and Watson battle murder in a library, but when Holmes becomes a critical patient, can Watson rise to save the day?

"He Who Would Be Holmes" reveals the capers of their northern counterparts. The impersonators have flair and panache, but not the ability to solve cases quite as well as those who occupy of 221b Baker Street. Holmes is ex circus and Watson may have only seen one doctor in his life. When an American woman turns up promising retirement money, the pair can’t resist.

"The Mystery of 221b Bacon Street" - The real Holmes and Watson track a blackmailer to a property with a name similar to their own....

I enjoyed these stories which walked the line between parody and pastiche. They were also of an appropriate length to be listened to in breaks from work, with each story not being more than half-an-hour. I was initially put off by the American narrator, but soon got over this (save his attempt at a Scottish Mrs. Hudson). The solutions to each story were relatively obvious but this did not detract from the stories, and neither did the reuse of some Canonical strategems to solve the problems.
