Joanna Parson is an excellent narrator!

Revisado: 12-04-23

The book is a series of personal and family crises…… it is hard to imagine there is one she missed. The story is carried along by Joanna Parson’s excellent narration. She makes each character so real that the listener becomes invested in each crisis and keeps listening to find out what happens.

Extraordinary!

…….Lee Greenwood wrote: Proud to be an American……and for the 30+ years I lived, studied and worked overseas I knew that no matter what international crisis, dictatorship or setback I experienced….I knew I could go home….. to freedom, small towns and national pride. It ended with Trump……I cried on 4th of July listening as I always did to the song…. Knowing my safety — my pride and all I believed in was not there any more. Trump was destroying it. Thank you Cassidy for believing in America and standing up us/USA

One of the best! Venice/Cole Porter......Families unmasked!

Revisado: 04-03-21

Disturbing issues......insane asylums....incest.....the black shirts of Fascism. Venice instead of Berlin’s Cabaret!
Holmes & Mary are asked to find the aunt of one of Mary’s Oxford friend’s, Veronica. The search takes them into the insane asylums of Britain......a trail to Venice. The wild parties of “the bright young things”. Cole Porter and his wife Linda. Mary & Holmes together — so clever & interesting once again as a team. I finally gave in & sat on the sofa for ?? hours listening to the tale unfold!

My favorite so far!

Revisado: 03-27-21

I have seen other reviewers not liking this book. Saying the series was declining. I am definitely in the other camp. The daughter, the mother & Damien. Holmes’ granddaughter and son. A dangerous
religion...... but really a cult with all the horrors that define a cult. The Holmes
family coming together ...... led by
Mycroft. They said at the end that this was going to be continued. I am going now to find it!

San Francisco..... Mary returns home!

Revisado: 03-26-21

As always it is an excellent story. It is an American story. Mary becomes very American which befuddles Holmes.
The mystery of Mary’s parents/brother’s death is solved.Her perceived guilt assuaged. Hopefully we don’t have to revisit USA.Mary/Holmes/The Stories are much more interesting in an international setting.

Addictive! I did nothing else for 2 days!

Revisado: 03-21-21

This story has Mycroft— probably my
favorite character in each rendition of
the Sherlock Holmes Stories. His Dionysus Club, his importance and influence — but no one knows why— in the running of Great Britain & the commonwealth. I could go on & on. As usual the book is exceptional.

Addictive! Recommend !!!

Revisado: 03-18-21

This is the third book of this series that I have read. A friend who is also addicted suggesting I read 0’Jerusalem which is her favorite. So far..... this is my favorite. I had to finish it & have spent most of the day glued to the story. I am still amazed that Ms King has been able to completely redefine Sherlock Holmes.....and it works. On the next one! Enjoy.....

Quite remarkable! Holmes is excellent in his new role.I highly recommend

Revisado: 03-01-21

I recommend highly. Quite remarkable. There is the History of the British in
The Middle East : Deserts Deception intrigue
.......and oh so British. In the middle of the desert...... the top British commander of all operations stopped everything for afternoon tea. Sandwiches with no crusts, pastries etc. .... and the commander apologized for
Canned milk instead of fresh...... he didn’t like goats milk. Then the war resumed! Sherlock Holmes is excellent in his new role. I wasn’t sure I could embrace it. But he and Mary Russell make an odd ..... but good team.

So unexpected! Excellent.....! I recommend!

Revisado: 02-14-21

A friend suggested it. During the boredom of the pandemic.....why not. I couldn’t figure out how they were going to do it! Holmes’ story is so well known. Well they did! I got so caught up in the story that I listened to in one day. Later today I am going to start O’Jerusalem which I am told is even better.
