Publisher's Summary

The ghost of Sherlock Holmes is dead, but who will solve his murder?

The Great Detective's ghost has walked London's streets for an age, given shape by people's memories. Now someone's put a ceremonial dagger through his chest. But what's the motive? And who - or what - could kill a ghost?

When policing London's supernatural underworld, eliminating the impossible is not an option. DI James Quill and his detectives have learnt this the hard way. Gifted with the Sight, they'll pursue a criminal genius - who'll lure them into a Sherlockian maze of clues and evidence. The team also have their own demons to fight. They've been to hell and back (literally), but now the unit is falling apart....

Boring, confusing, uninspiring

What would have made Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? better?

I really wanted to get into the story but it the iuninspired story and the voice just turned me off - hard work , even after the first part...

What was most disappointing about Paul Cornell’s story?

confusing convoluted with some story that supposedly happened before and I as a listener cannot fathom as why it has such impact on people Did I get to know that this was to be book two of a series? NO!

How could the performance have been better?

short introduction into the previous happenings

Any additional comments?

sadly disappointing The other books from " Rivers of London" series are soo much better!!!
