London Society takes their problems to Sherlock Holmes. Everyone else goes to Arrowood

South London, 1896. William Arrowood, Victorian London’s less salubrious private detective, is paid a visit by Captain Moon, the owner of a pleasure steamer moored on the Thames. He complains that someone has been damaging his boat, putting his business in jeopardy.

Arrowood and his trusty sidekick Barnett suspect professional jealousy, but when a shocking discovery is pulled from the river, it seems like even fouler play is afoot.

It’s up to Arrowood and Barnett to solve the case, before any more corpses end up in the watery depths . . .

This is the third Arrowood story and they just get better and better. The stories are rich with detail and the narration really brings the out the depth of the characters. The idea of Arrowood being critical of Holmes is inspired and very well played throughout the books, definitely worth a listen.

Excellent

A really well written story, excellent descriptions of Victorian London laced with murder and life as it was at that time. In my late seventies and with my ancestors living through those times I remember stories in my childhood from my grandmother and my mother about life in the streets so well described by this author . And so well narrated by Malk Williams , whose lovely gentle cockney accent is so reminiscent of my father and uncle’s , I am looking forward to listening to his other books.

Just superb

Bought this as a BOGOF and wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. Set in the Victorian era against the backdrop of the London slums/the Thames a dastardly deed is done. Our hero who has a chip on his shoulder against Sherlock Holmes tries to work the mystery out with the help of a few friends.

It’s a fast moving novel which is well read.

Enjoyable
