About this listen

 Raymond Bannister is a wealthy man living a secure life. He is found slashed down in a dirty alleyway, in a part of town he had no reason to be in. The crime and the crimescene are inexplicable to Chief Inspector Lestrade, and he seeks the help of his new consultant detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Though this first mystery is quickly solved, it has deep connections to a far larger, and far grimmer case. We are lead back in time, to India, and the disturbing origins of a group of children who call themselves 'the Irregulars'. Can this be the key to Sherlock Holme's identity? And who is the new, mysterious and cruel new player who has entered the London underworld? His signature is just theletter M. Meanwhile the emotions between Missy Hudson and John Watson are stirring, as a certain Mary Morstan comes knocking at their door on Baker Street. Listen to the second installment of the Becoming Sherlock series. What listeners have said: - 'As good as the previous novel Twisting plot. Excellent narration. This second novel builds on the characterisations of the first and fleshes out some of the 'Sherlock' backstory. However, it leaves enough unexplained to make you want to move on to novel number three.' - 'Excellent narration and brought new dimensions to familiar characters I enjoyed the other Anthony Horowitz takes on Sherlock, Moriarty and the House of Silk were both very good and different in their own right. This again is familiar but different.' - 'Riveting Hope there is a book 3 as I will be very disappointed if I cannot hear more of these dystopian adventures' - 'A very clever concept perfectly executed. This is clever stuff. Apocalyptic London. Re-imagined Watson & Holmes. A solid storyline. Intriguing characters. Hugely enjoyed both the books in this series. More please.'©2024 Storyside (P)2024 Storyside Historical Mystery Science Fiction

Can’t fault these, imaginatively reimagined in a not too distant and not impossible possible future, they still capture the Victorian atmosphere of the originals whilst giving our familiar characters new versions of what their lives could be. Bloody great!

Fabulous interpretation of Holmes’ story

Another new iteration of the iconic, beloved, and brilliant Arthur Conan-Doyle character proves yet again just how timeless Holmes truly is. This reinvention is clever, endearing, frustrating and remarkable for the same reasons but thoroughly intriguing for others. A smart concept, snapped to life by this talented writer. I loved this 2nd instalment even more than the 1st and cannot wait to listen to the 3rd. Sarah's solo venture into expanding THIS Holme's story and world is all a die-hard Sherlockian could hope for. Being set in the not to distant future and semi-dystopian, which is sadly not too great a stretch of the imagination these days, creates endless potential plot twists and turns. The Becoming Sherlock series is thrilling, heart-warming, clever, and engaging. This 2nd book sees all characters developing and growing on the reader, provides greater insight into the 'new world' order setting, and is building the familiar base of support for the classic Holmes brilliance but with an updated and reinvented support cast. I highly recommend these books regardless of whether you're a lover of Holmes or not.

Even better than the 1st book...
