Audible’s bold new addition to the Sherlock Holmes universe, Moriarty: The Devils Game, dares to ask: What if Holmes’ most villainous nemesis was actually an innocent man?

Featuring Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings, Lost) in a riveting lead performance, Moriarty turns one of literature’s most famous rivalries on its head, recasting Professor James Moriarty as a desperate fugitive framed for murder–and hunted by dark forces who will stop at nothing to exploit his brilliance.

Moriarty finds the professor on the heels of an earth-shattering mathematical breakthrough–a formula so powerful, it can predict the future–and at the scene of a gruesome murder he must solve to prove his innocence. With London’s sprawling underworld as their battleground, Moriarty and Holmes match their peerless intellects to gain the ever-shifting upper hand. But as their duel escalates, so does the deadly cost of pursuing the truth. “What will it take to get your justice?” Dr. Watson asks an utterly ensnared Moriarty, “And if you do get it… what will you become?”

Vividly brought to life by a sensational cast and meticulously crafted sound design, Moriarty is a heart-pounding series filled with biting wit and shocking twists at every turn.

Listen closely–and assume nothing. The game is afoot.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

I thought this was great, enjoyable listening despite the distraction of being riddled with Americanisms.

Addictive listening

I know I've seen a few negative reviews on this but to be honest I really enjoyed this production.

if you're looking for a more traditional Holmes story ), this isn't it. If you can't handle long prose and need to have all conversations boiled down to 5 second clips this isn't for you.

However, if you're interested in a twist on the traditional Holmes narrative, enjoy characters stepping through scientific deduction to unravel a mysterious death, then I highly recommend it.

If you like Star Trek Discovery and the Benedict Cumberbatch Holmes, this probably isn't your thing. If you like Star Trek Next Generation, or the Jeremy Brent Era of Sherlock Holmes then you'll probably get a few hours enjoyment with Professor Moriarty.

Something Different But Fun

Dodgy English accents, irritating American language used (math, tuxedo, etc). Interesting story, though with a thoroughly ridiculous, nasty Holmes.
Obviously written by an American with little actual knowledge of the period.

Too american

It's a fun take on the character, nicely cast & well performed.

However, the writer having spent five minutes researching the country, history & language of the time would've helped immeasurably!

The overly-American verbage & turn of phrase, coupled with an anachronistic set-up do rather take one out of the story.

So close, so much fun but really, do your research.

Do your research

Not totally true to the original works by Doyle but enjoyable none the less, hope there’s more to come

Really enjoyed it
