Summary

Holmes and Watson are plunged into the secret underworld of 1925 London, where a serial killer of musical (gay) men is afoot. The killer has a little list, and Sherlock is on it. Why? And what have the Bloomsbury Group and the Diogenes Club got to do with anything?

Thanks to Royal Jelly, Holmes is a fit 71-year-old who has lost his interest in bees and returned to detecting. He's not quite as sharp as he used to be, but he's still pretty sharp, and a bit of a vigilante in his old age. He meets up with his colleague and friend, Dr. John Hamish Watson, a 72-year-old not-quite-so-fit-at-all twice-widower, who hankers after the good old days of derring-do. They are joined by their excitable new housekeeper at 221B Baker Street, the brilliant, buxom Miss Lily Hudson, and are helped in their work by Jasper Lestrade of Scotland Yard, the ambitious, respectful son of the late George Lestrade.

An original premise that's quite dark but is balanced out by adding a slightly bumbling Watson, all narrated with verve by the late great Steve White

A dark story tempered with comedy

An entertaining well written Holmes and Watson story set in their twilight years. Serial Murder and mutilation, Quite a dark storyline. It has with good characters including relatives of some of the original characters, an obvious word play gives away the murderer but I enjoyed the story.. Narration by Steve White is generally excellent but there are some odd pronunciations at times. I received a complimentary copy of the audio and am leaving a honest voluntary review.

Entertaining well written story
