Meh. I’ve read better holmes fan fic—- and probably worse as well. Middle of the road as far as it goes.

Interesting - 3*

Let's be real here... This was very unlikely to be 4* or 5* as I find it very difficult to love Sherlock Holmes adaptations... I'm attracted to Sherlock Holmes adaptations because I'm a proper Sherlock Holmes nerd. Anyway, I'm very critical of any adaptation but I can't help but read them.

I thought this was an audiobook but it turns out it was an Audible like drama thing. I kind of enjoyed that but the one thing I couldn't stand was all the FLASHBACKS. Omg there are other literary techniques to reveal the information. In the Audible drama, there was a sound effect that told you that it was a flashback and I used to groan because I couldn't believe it had happened again. I also thought the characters forced in this and it was just really easy to guess.

Yeah it was alright. I wouldn't read it again though.

It's interesting to see a production done in the style of a radio drama.  It was a little hard to keep track of who was talking at times, but overall, I very much enjoyed myself.  I appreciated seeing the story tied up with what we know of real-world history.  I've seen similar twists before, and I enjoyed this version of them.

Not my favorite Holmes book but still pretty fun! The twists were just ok honestly none of them were shocking despite me not necessarily predicting them, I just felt that many weren't earned and I didn't feel myself looking for the twist. The audio drama format the book used was also a bit annoying too much background noise and such but it wasn't the worst I've had.

Excellent performance, which is why it gets 3 stars. The plot was way too convoluted for my taste - especially for a drama with no narration - and felt like the authors threw everything but the kitchen sink into it, and for that I would give it only 2. Holmes also made some wild leaps to conclusions with no logical basis but which, of course, turned out to be correct.
