About this listen

The second novel in Lois H. Gresh’s Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu series

Amelia Scarcliffe’s monstrous brood, harbingers of Cthulhu, will soon spawn. Her songs spell insanity, death...and illimitable wealth. And Moriarty will do anything to get his hands on gold, even if it means tearing down the walls between this world and a realm of horrors.

Meanwhile, after Sherlock Holmes’s last tangle with the Order of Dagon, horrifying monsters haunt the Thames, and madness stalks the streets of Whitechapel. Gang war between Moriarty’s thugs and the powerful cult can only bring more terror - unless Holmes and Dr. Watson can prevent it. But can they find the cause of the neural psychoses before Watson himself succumbs?

I hated this story. The relationship between Watson and Holmes once again deteriates into Watson being a fanboy of the great detective. The violence is gratuitous. The female characters are awful and the sexual overtones are off putting. The telling of the story by each of the character's is clumsy and breaks the flow of the narrative. Some of the actions of the characters seems to be inconsistent with their established norms. I appreciated the author may be research on the use of "e-shockers" but why did she need to go into such great detail about the amps/ohms and associated technical aspects of the devices? It added nothing to the story.

Dennis Kleinman's narration is wonderful. He maintains the consistency with the characters through out.

Horrific

I wanted so badly to be able to refute the other review of this book. Unfortunately though I can’t
These aren’t the Holmes and Watson many readers know and love. Holmes verges on being cruelly insane and while they’ve given Watson a brain infected by parasitic other worldly organisms he still misses the mark. Lestrade is made out to be completely jealous and incompetent and Moriarty, don’t get me started of the way moriarty has been written. There is nothing of the spider sitting over his intricate webs pulling strings in the back ground of this Moriarty. No. Instead he’s obsessed with gold and torturing people as well as doing his own dirty work.

The mention of e shockers and the formulas used to work them was incessant and unnecessary. The amount of detailed musings and explanations of the e shockers and electricity and formulas were unneeded and if taken out would like reduce the reading of the book by at least two hours.

I do not mind reading gore or violence however the amount in this book was gratuitous and not in the feeling of Holmes and Watson.

The unfortunate thing is that if this book had less gratuitous violence, less switching into different narrators, less never ending detail about ohms and mega ampules and this book may have actually been good. The plot was good. The execution of the writing, terrible.

Dennis Kleinman did a stellar job as usual. It’s a pity he didn’t have better to work with

Disappointing
