Acerca de esta escucha

Narrated by acclaimed British actor Edward Petherbridge. On the eve of war, Sherlock Holmes is asked by the Prime Minister of England to recover a new British superweapon that has fallen into the wrong hands. But Lucy James, an actress and Holmes's recently discovered grown daughter, has inherited the family sleuthing skills and strong-willed nature. Despite her father's objections, she insists on helping him, although several horrific murders have been linked to the weapon's disappearance. With Dr. Watson, Holmes and Lucy follow the trail to Germany, uncovering a sinister plot that puts them directly in the line of fire. Featuring appearances from real-life notables Nikola Tesla, King Edward VII, and Kaiser Wilhelm II, this electrifying new mystery puts the greatest deductive mind of his era into a race to save the Empire.©2016 Charles Veley (P)2016 Charles Veley Acción y Aventura Crimen y Misterio Internacional Detective Detectives Mujeres Detectives Tradicionales Ficción Ficción Histórica Ficción de mujeres Investigadores Privados Misterio Misterio,Thriller y Suspenso Suspenso Thriller y Suspenso Thrillers sobre Crímenes Guerra Celebridad Sherlock Holmes Inglaterra

A lot of mystery books and shows I guess the end too soon. This one really had me and because of that I loved it. It's nice to have Watson, Holmes and Lucy involved. It seems Watson is more like a father to Lucy. I enjoyed the narrator he did a great job and is easy to understand. I will be listening to other Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James books. I received this book free and am giving my own opinion/review on it. Thank you this was a very pleasant listen.

Had me guessing

I really enjoy the Sherlock and Lucy series. I don’t have an ebook of this story, so I was glad to get an audible version. The story was a little complicated at times since I couldn’t refer to a printed copy, but I enjoy hearing it read with a British accent.

Great series

This is the 4th Lucy James mystery for me, having started out of order with Remember, Remember and then the Crown Jewel Mystery … and this is the weakest of the bunch. More action/adventure than mystery/thriller, the story inserts an average spy story on to the world stage of international politics between England and Germany before WWI … and doesn’t really return to its roots until the end after telegraphing where the mystery was ultimately headed well before that. Frankly the Uber weapon trope is way overdone, especially in an historical setting and where nominal details take up way too much time and space. Stir in a bewildering cast of famous/historical characters and we just don’t get much in the way of development for the title characters … which is why I tuned in.

However, unlike the consensus that thought we had too much of Lucy here, I actually wanted more of her and less of Sherlock and/or Watson … especially as the portrayal of Sherlock just didn’t seem very good for me .. the ease with which the good guys appeared to be ineffectually running around and getting betrayed or duped or drugged et al. so often that it just seemed so out of character I had a hard time connecting. Keeping everybody straight was a little more difficult by the apparent lack of vocal range and limited diction applied to all characters by the narration, which was fairly average over all.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Not a typical Sherlock mystery

I enjoy it being true to the original author’s style. It kept me interested from beginning to end.

Intriguing historical context

Another great book in this series. I must say that I enjoy the relationship between Holmes and his daughter and the one between Watson and Lucy. Holmes is still Holmes with just the barest twinge of proud father here and there. And Watson... Watson oozes paternal feelings, and I simply adore this. So true to them!

The mystery is a convoluted game of espionage, betrayal and human fragility, intense, with some very tense scenes, and moments in which every one of the main characters shines.

A wonderful mystery with a nice (but strongly foreshadowed) twist at the end.

Excellent

I love almost every Sherlock Holmes, I'm a life-long fan. This particular story, while very good, focuses a lot on Doctor Watson. That isn't a bad thing but I went into it wanting to hear about Holmes. Don't get me wrong, Holmes is present , but i felt like he took a back seat to Watson.

This story is set in a pre-WWI time period and focuses on a new weapon that is being developed. Tesla (the man, not the car) has a hand in the creation of the weapon and many forces are trying to acquire it. That's all I will say to avoid any spoilers.

Its a well written story with lots of characters. The narration is also very well done.

Holmes or Watson?

I enjoyed listening to this book. It took me some time to get used to the narrator, but once I did, it was great! Interesting plot with great characters. I have always liked the Sherlock Holmes books, and Charles Veley and Anna Elliott do a wonderful job of continuing the legacy.

Historical Fiction Intrigue!

I love the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I also enjoyed many stories by more modern day authors who write Sherlock Holmes mysteries. This author doesn't seem to attain the level of engagement with the Sherlock and Watson characters. I had a hard time finishing this book.

Not like other 'Sherlock Holmes' substitutes.
