About this listen
Who is Sherlock Holmes?
We are 40 years into the future, and London is a city in decay. John Watson has returned from medical service in the war in Afghanistan and lives by himself in a run-down part of town. On his way home from work, he stumbles upon a beaten man in the street – unconscious and completely naked. His chances of survival are minimal.
The same evening, a passenger plane crashes in Richmond Park. There are several hundred victims, and Watson and the mysterious man are left to their own devices.
When the man wakes up the following day, he has no memory of who he is or where he came from but reveals excellent detection skills. This is the start of a mystery that unravels rapidly with one burning question at its core.
Can he solve the mystery of himself?
The Red Circle, the first instalment in the upcoming trilogy Becoming Sherlock by international bestseller Anthony Horowitz (known for Midsomer murders, Foyle's war, Alex Rider, and Hawthorne) and Sarah J. Naughton. Story development by Søren Vestergaard.

A terrific, novel idea of Holmes and Watson of the future
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the narration was excellent. An interesting twist on the Sherlock Holmes storyline we know so well, remodelled into a future London with new types of villains to challenge his extraordinary abilities.

Enjoyed this take on Sherlock
Sherlock is even more of a mystery in this clever version that mixes a reality of past and future. What I liked best is the bringing together of lonely souls to form a sort of family. Things might be tricky but when you have someone to watch your back, and believe in you, it just makes things better.

immediately engaging
this is another fabulous book by Horowitz but with greater depth and fast moving descriptions than the previous Sherlock novels. I didn't think they could get better.
