About this listen

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’

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

Enjoyable and fast moving plot. As always with the Lovegrove books narrated by Dennis Kleinman there are some bizarre pronunciations of words (particularly place names). I am used to these now but really think that the Editor needs to take a look at themselves!

Good story some irritations in the narration
