About this listen

The new Sherlock Holmes novel from the New York Times best-selling author of The Age of Odin and Firefly: Big Damn Hero.

It is 1890, and in the days before Christmas, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are visited at Baker Street by a new client. Eve Allerthorpe - eldest daughter of a grand but somewhat eccentric Yorkshire-based dynasty - is greatly distressed, as she believes she is being haunted by a demonic Christmas spirit.

Her late mother told her terrifying tales of the sinister Black Thurrick, and Eve is sure that she has seen the creature from her bedroom window. What is more, she has begun to receive mysterious parcels of birch twigs, the Black Thurrick’s calling card....

Eve stands to inherit a fortune if she is sound of mind, but it seems that something - or someone - is threatening her sanity. Holmes and Watson travel to the Allerthorpe family seat at Fellscar Keep to investigate, but soon discover that there is more to the case than at first appeared. There is another spirit haunting the family, and when a member of the household is found dead, the companions realize that no one is beyond suspicion.

What an amazing book. thank-you for the chance to read and enjoy it! I was weary to enter the Holmes Genre, but had read many good reviews of Lovegrove's writings and thought I would give it a peep. Needless to say, I am more than delighted and will be enjoying the rest as fast as I can read them!

This was a lot of fun and held true to the characters of Holmes and Watson. I have not read any other books in the series but I look forward to starting at the beginning. The narration was excellent.

After listening to and reading the full length original Sherlock Holmes series, multiple times, there was a major void that needed to be filled.

I searched and searched, many authors who’d attempted to recreate or reinvent Sherlock, failed in their story line, or the narrator or voice actors did not fit the voice of Sherlock and Watson I’d come to know and love (Stephen Fry specifically).

FINALLY, a story line and narrator that was close enough to the original, whilst also being new and invigorating…enough.

I also enjoyed the long length and many chapters, really keeping to Arthur’s tradition, and really an overall cost saver.

Great to relax to, felt like home again.

I hope the Author and narrator come out with more and more titles in 2022! Definitely recommend! ☺️

🙏 Void Filled: Thoroughly Enjoyed

Very enjoyable and an easy listen, a great escape from todays concerns. Listening to proper English is a wonderful change from today’s emojis and lazy use of language.

Excellent narration but for some unfortunate and jarring mispronunciations. Worth the listen. Typical Conan Doyle.
