About this listen

The London Borough of Hackney is run by the crime syndicate Bai Ze. One night an expensive horse carriage arrives at their headquarters. Behind the carriage is the leader of the Bai Ze, Mr.

Quin, hanging at the end of a bloody rope. The journey here has stripped him of his clothes and shredded most of his skin off him. He rasps one final word to his second in command: 'Mogwai'.

It's the Cantonese word for the devil. In London the normal order of the criminal syndicates has been broken and a new dangerous villain is playing to win the entire game. It is also ruining the business of the Bohemia—the secret underworld club. The members are being killed and club owner, Irene Adler, must seek the help of the only person who can solve these mysterious murders—Sherlock Holmes.

Somewhere at the other end of all these murders lies the truth about Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty.

Follow the third instalment of the Becoming Sherlock series.

I’ve really enjoyed this reimagining of Sherlock, Watson and friends- the story moves along well and holds the attention- the narration is fabulous. I really hope the author continues the story- my only gripe is I’d like it to be longer- I usually avoid short audiobooks as I get through them too quickly, but, I had to know what happened as I was hooked by the first two books! Please do more!

Original take on old characters

Maintained the superb storytelling of the first two books and built on the characters. Once again, the narrator made the listening experience so immersive: his character voices are all distinct and consistent.

Excellent narrator

I found this series as I am fan of anything by Anthony Horowitz who is listed as a co author on book one. It’s fast become one of my favourite audiobook series with such a clever & enthralling take on the world of Sherlock Holmes and a future somewhat dystopian London. The narration is one of the best I’ve ever heard, possibly even better than the great Stephen Fry. All the characters voices are authentic and different , not one annoying . Superb cannot wait for the next instalment !

Highly recommend

Another good take on the legend. If you know anything about BMT the details will irritate,
