Holmes and Watson are handed the challenge of solving the London Tarot Murders, a dark episode which, to quote Dr. Watson's in his memoirs, "occupies a lofty place in the annals of all black deeds ever committed in the long memory of the ancient, regal city, higher even than the infamous affair with the Ripper."

Some fiend is brutally murdering random people in Lower Havering and pinning cards from the Italian deck upon their faces. And this string of killings appears to have some relation to the strange, unsolved slaying of the renowned solicitor Richard Corkright in his cozy, secure Merton office. The gauntlet is thrown down, and Holmes, at great risk to both himself and his faithful chronicler, snatches it up. But what price will the two valiant men pay for meddling in the affairs of the sinister Tarot Master?

An interesting and entertaining addition to the Holmes universe. A series of brutal murders with a Tarot theme and the killing of a renowned solicitor draw Holmes and Watson into very different areas of London. The story is well written and has some excellent touches, the depictions of the leads are generally as they were originally described but I found some of the lesser characters a little weak. Narration is excellent with a good range and well performed.. I will definitely be listening to more of these. I received a complimentary copy of the audio and am leaving a voluntary honest review.
