About this listen

Performed by acclaimed narrators Simon Prebble and Wendy Tremont King, this adventure takes place in Victorian London, 1897.

Sherlock Holmes has been asked by South African mogul Cecil Rhodes to stop an international ring of diamond smugglers. An alluring woman wants Watson to help raise funds for her charity. Lucy and Jack are looking forward to their wedding and moving into a new home. But then a new series of murders take place in Whitechapel, and Lucy is targeted by a notorious killer.

The Baker Street team will need more than their usual deductive brilliance to defeat their latest adversary, or else the case of the Ripper could be their last.

Nothing to dislike, once started, I have to get to the end to find out who did it.

All of the books in this series are very good. The story lines have many twist and turns, which keeps you guessing.

I wasn't too sure what to expect from this but it was great. Clearly a work written with love, it explores the historical context more thoroughly than I was expected, introduces a range of likeable characters, has jeopardy and is a genuinely knotty mystery you really want to see solved. It's fun and it's compelling and though not pretending to be a heavyweight work of fiction, neither is it lightweight or forgettable. It was well researched and made me want to read more.

The Ripper is of course a well-worn story line and in less assured hands it usually ends up as some occult mystery hooking in the royal family in some unlikely plot twist - this was much more complex and frankly, much more believable and I appreciated that it animated a London that felt real, rather than a comic book version.

Loved this - much more than I was expecting

I enjoyed this audiobook very much. It is well paced and narrated although I wish that Jack’s East End accent was more authentic. Very enjoyable story.

Very suspenseful

There seems to be quite a few authors writing alternative Sherlock Holmes stories, I have read a few but only listened to one, this production. It is a good effort, and I like that it concentrates as much on Lucy James, Sherlock's newly discovered daughter as on Holmes himself.

The story is quite involved and well written with some enjoyable twists to the plot. The narration definitely benefits from having two narrators, I prefer having the female voices performed by a woman and the male ones by a man, it makes the story much easier to follow for me.

Overall an enjoyable listen.

Enjoyable alternative Sherlock Holmes story

The idea of Holmes having a child who helps with his criminal investigations at first had me thinking would I like it bring brought up with the traditional holmes stories. However was it got going I did enjoy the story and was a nice twist.

A twist to the normal holmes story
