À propos de cet audio

Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective in literary history. For the first time since the death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a new Holmes story has been sanctioned by his estate, whetting the appetites of fans everywhere. Information about the book will be revealed as deliberately as Holmes himself would unravel a knotty case, but best-selling novelist and Holmes expert Anthony Horowitz is sure to bring a compelling, atmospheric story to life. With access to the estate's archives and careful study of the original stories, Horowitz is sure to weave a tale that satisfies new fans as well as the most dedicated Baker Street Irregular.

as a life long fan I have listened to the stories of sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his spirit truly lives on in the newest story. well done mr Horowitz...well done indeed, and in the same way Derek Jacobi brings Dr Watson to life in every word.

Sherlock Holmes at his best

Finished "house of Silk" thought it was good and immediately bought "Moriarity".
In M it feels like the narrator is reading the part, good but in HOS it feels as Jacobi is acting.
Maybe the English accent but strong recommend for HOS.
.
Edit:
Got thinking that "acting" could be read as derogatory.
Not as I meant.
but his "voice" would not have worked in the Moriarity read

Narrator makes it.

Horowitz captures Watson and Sherlock Holmes so masterfully that I forget I was not listening to or reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Derek Jacobi's reading was perfection. His voice and Horowitz's words had me spellbound throughout the story. Whether you're a Conan Doyle, Jacobi, or Horowitz fan, you'll find that this audiobook is for you. It is a thoroughly enjoyable whodunit.

Holy Batman, Sherlock Holmes!

If might not be fair to enter the review when I haven't finished the book yet, but I want to document my enthusiasm about this book.
I was introduced to Anthony Horowitz by his latest book, The Word is Murder, and I really enjoyed it. The plot twist was brilliant and maybe because I am novice to Mystery/Thriller genre, but I did not see that coming.
Then I was researching his other work, and this book came to my attention.
I'm still early in the book, but the case is getting more complicated.
Some of the description of deceased victims were very graphic and a bit much for me, but I was able to skim through and go to Sherlock's brilliant reasoning.
Hope I would be able to update my review once I'm finished.

*Spoiler alert*
When picking up a Sherlock Holmes style mystery I was not expecting gruesome torture / murder of children and a depressing storyline revolving around a pedophile ring.
Doesn't line up with the kind of Sherlock Holmes plots I was used to by Doyle. I guess I am not a tough enough mysterie/thriller reader, just looking for some interesting storyline, not shock and depression.
If there had been any indication of this in the book description, I would have definitely skipped this one.

Thanks, not for me

While Derek Jacobi is a wonderful narrator, he was wasted on this poor story. Don't waste a credit on this one.

Great narration but poor story
