Kate Martinelli has seen her share of peculiar things as a San Francisco cop but never anything quite like this: an ornate Victorian sitting room straight out of a Sherlock Holmes story - complete with violin, tobacco-filled Persian slipper, and gunshots in the wallpaper that spell out the initials of the late queen.
Philip Gilbert was a true Holmes fanatic, from his antiquated decor to his vintage wardrobe. And no mere fan of fiction's great detective but a leading expert with a collection of priceless memorabilia - a collection some would kill for. And perhaps someone did: in his collection is a century-old manuscript purportedly written by Holmes himself - a manuscript that eerily echoes details of Gilbert's own murder. Now, with the help of her partner, Al Hawkin, Kate must follow the convoluted trail of a killer - one who may have trained at the feet of the greatest mind of all times.

Both narrators are excellent and so that lifts the audio. Audiobook one was my favourite, LRK never really topped that first offering, never really allowing Kate and Al to actually 'detect' quite so much or as cleverly. The final scene was nice Kate and Lee deserved that.
I still have a novella in the series to listen to and will be quite sad when 'The Kate Martinelli' series is finally over because we listeners 'buy into' our MC's et al. I can only hope the ending is at least as nice as 'The Art of Detection' was !
