Summary

Sherlock Holmes has died. It looks like natural causes, but Watson suspects murder. Can he prove it? The evidence isn't there, but he can't give up. This stunning novella reveals Watson's own remarkable abilities to investigate an impossible case. The dilemma is real, the solution is surprising, and the conclusion is a fitting coda to the Holmes canon.

Written by David Gerrold, the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author behind The Trouble with Tribbles, The Man Who Folded Himself, and The Martian Child. Read by two-time Emmy Award-winning narrator Daniel Penz.

One Final Thing

I approached this particular tale with some trepidation; there have been so many attempts to ape the great Arthur Conan Doyle, that I wasn’t convinced this would be worth my time. I needn’t have worried. Gerrold has presented a solid story that manages to capture the voice of Watson elegantly and effectively.
The story itself is relatively ingenious, if predictable, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. As usual, Daniel Penz provides a strong performance that captures the tone and style perfectly.

Only one thing jumped out at me: whether it was the narrator or author at fault I am unsure, but I do wish Americans will learn that the British (which Watson is supposed to be) will only ever mention maths or mathematics, not ‘math’!
