À propos de cet audio

Sherlock Holmes delves into the world of early cinema as motion picture groundbreaker Eadweard Muybridge begs him to solve a mystery that will keep you up all night.

1896. A new client at Baker Street claims he’s being threatened via the new art of the moving image …

Eadweard Muybridge, pioneer of motion picture projection, believes his life is in danger. Twice he has been almost run down in the street by the same mysterious carriage, and moreover, disturbing alterations have been made to his lecture slides. These are closely guarded, yet just before each lecture an unknown hand has defaced images depicting Muybridge himself, which he has discovered, to his horror, only as he projects them to his audience. As Holmes and Watson investigate, a bewildering trail of clues only deepens the mystery, and meanwhile, newspaper speculation reaches fever pitch. The great detective’s reputation is on the line, and may be ruined for good unless he can pick apart a mystery centered on the capturing, for the first time, of figures in motion, and the wonders of the new cinematograph.

I was disappointed as to how Watson was set up, he was a Military man, doctor,hundreds of cases with Holmes but was so squeamish about blood and that it made him look like a total nut. If I had been Holmes there were a number of times I would have told him to go home or stay home.
It is entertaining and I was able to finish it.

Fairly good

Interaction between Holmes and Watson was belligerent, bordering on contemptuous. No reference to any other Holmes story, or a place in the timeline. Convoluted story. Out of character. No evidence of cheerfulness at all, no evidence of his characteristic deduction based on first impression. Narrator sounds like he had never heard a Sherlock Holmes story before, and read him with a jowly bluster. So sorry.

Disappointing at best.
