1913. The clouds of war are gathering. The world’s great empires vie for supremacy. Europe is in turmoil, a powder keg awaiting a spark. A body is discovered on the shore below Beachy Head, just a mile from Sherlock Holmes’s retirement cottage. The local police are satisfied that it’s a suicide. The victim, a young man, recently suffered a disappointment in love, and Beachy Head is notorious as a place where the desperate and depressed leap to their deaths. Holmes, however, suspects murder. As he and Watson investigate, they uncover a conspiracy with shocking ramifications.

Solid effort at an "untold" Sherlock Holmes tale.

Performance good, marred only slightly by a couple of occasional weird pronunciations .

I really enjoy James Lovegrove’s rendition of Sherlock Holmes however this story struck me as a little formulaic and obvious.

The reveal of the antagonist was a let down and it felt like the rationale was, ‘it’s like that because that’s what it is’

Formulaic

I always enjoy these continuation of the Sherlock Holmes stories. They are brilliantly read by Dennis Klienman.

I've listened to a few of these recent Holmes stories and they're great for classic Sherlock fans like myself.

The narrator, whilst doing an adequate job of voicing both Holmes and Dr Watson, has a very limited range when it comes to reading out the other character parts. His Sussex accent is unforgivable Irish (and a bad one at that) and his pronunciation of many common words and geographic locations is terrible.

Good old Holmes and Watson, disappointing narration

Twists and turns galore. ACD himself would be pleased. Absolutely loved SH & JW authentic voices. Great idea visiting in the great man’s retirement.

Fabulous
