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...
