Story
It is 1872, and a series of gruesome murders is the talk of London. Mycroft Holmes - now 26 and a force to be reckoned with at the War Office - has no interest in the killings; however his brother Sherlock has developed a distasteful fascination for the macabre to the detriment of his studies, much to Mycroft's frustration. When a ship carrying cargo belonging to Mycroft's best friend Cyrus Douglas runs aground, Mycroft persuades Sherlock to serve as a tutor at the orphanage that Douglas runs as a charity, so that Douglas might travel to see what can be salvaged.

Story
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn’s startling book led, almost 30 years later, to Glasnost, Perestroika, and the "Fall of the Wall". One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich brilliantly portrays a single day, any day, in the life of a single Russian soldier who was captured by the Germans in 1945 and who managed to escape a few days later. Along with millions of others, this soldier was charged with some sort of political crime, and since it was easier to confess than deny it and die, Ivan Denisovich "confessed" to "high treason" and received a sentence of 10 years in a Siberian labor camp.

What is a surprise is that the black man - Virgil Tibbs - is not the killer but a skilled homicide detective, passing through racially tense Wells, South Carolina, on his way back to California. Even more surprising, Wells’s new police chief recruits Tibbs to help with the investigation.

After celebrating his birthday with a Monopoly-board pub crawl around London, he came to in a burger bar on one of Saturns moons, wearing a lady's pink crimplene hat and a pair of yellow fishing waders, with no money and a passport in the name of "Emily Berkenstein". Joining the Space Corps seemed a good idea.

Perfectly written and narrated
I just happened across this book and almost wish I hadn't because it left me wanting much much more. In fact that's the only bad thing I have to say about it is that it's only an hour long. It's impeccably written in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and if you weren't paying to close attention you would think you were reading a Sherlock Holmes story rather than one about his arch nemesis. I hope the author has more of this planned because I'm hooked. And without giving too much away, the last lines of the final chapter give me hope for more to come.

Where does James Moriarty, Consulting Criminal rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
upper third
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
not that kind of book
What does Graeme Malcolm bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
wonderful narrations.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
How the other half live,...
Any additional comments?

Lackluster and short
Using the standard Sherlock Holmes format Andy Weir writes a couple of short stories with a couple of twists but no real depth. The problem is exacerbated by the narrator who, in an effort to sound sinister, just ends up sounding flat, I am a fan of Mr Weir’s work but maybe he is just better at stories when he has time to develop them more fully. This one is only worth a credit if you’re just too curious to pass it up, like I was.

Well-written, but missed the mark for me
Moriarty being what he is, a dark reflection of Sherlock himself, I can imagine it's hard to describe Moriarty without seeming like you're just describing Sherlock. That's where this landed for me; It seemed like the stories could have just as well been about Sherlock, with a few slightly devious twists that we know don't suit Sherlock. Not much was done to fill out Moriarty's character, and so I was left with the impression the author didn't know Moriarty very well.

A good tribute to the Holmes universe
Andy Weir did a good job of creating a villain in the tone and tenor of the Sherlock Holmes universe. And in keeping the stories short and quickly wrapped up, Mr. Weir seems to be using a style reminiscent to the days when The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes were also short pieces written for magazine inclusion.
In these stories, Moriarty is certainly the much darker side of Holmes. He uses similar observations and reasoning in assembling the clues into answers. In fact, my favorite parts weren't when Moriarty would wrap up a mystery. Actually, in two of the stories the outcome were somewhat predictable. Instead, my satisfaction came when he would describe how all the clues came together.
In all, a good tribute by Mr. Weir to the Sherlock Holmes universe.
As narrator, I found that Graeme Malcolm's delivery was top notch. His voice is both deep and rumbly almost to the point of gravelly combined with British smooth. In his characterization of Moriarty, he sounds like someone I wouldn't want to cross.
