Performed by acclaimed audiobook narrators Simon Prebble and Wendy Tremont King.

Lucy James and Sherlock Holmes must solve a mysterious locked-room murder at London's exclusive Diogenes Club. But Lucy is still coping with the traumatic after-effects of their last case, and her romantic relationship with a handsome young police detective is growing more complex.

Emotions intensify and the dangers become life-threatening as they find themselves drawn into lethal conflict with the most ruthless gang leader in London.

It really is not a good story, far too much Lucy and not enough Holmes. The “love angle” is not necessary and goes into too much detail at the expense of the actual story. The previous two stories were so much better, in the vein of Conan Doyle and believable. This one, hugely disappointing. Sorry.

Hugely disappointing

It's good to have new, different angles on the Sherlock Holmes original stories, and this is one of those.

I have listened to a few of the audio books in this series now.In my opinion this is the best to date, I enjoyed the story-line and thought that it contained just the right balance between excitement and personal relationships.
The narration is far better in this book than in the previous episode, The Jubilee Problem, mainly because the way that it is shared between the two narrators works very well. I also though that Wendy Tremont King's accents were a lot less grating than in the previous story.

Excellent Sherlock and Lucy James story

I found this series as I’d listened to my bought book and still had a while till next one. I love Sherlock Holmes mysteries so wondered how these would fair. I listened to first couple of Sherlock & Watson then Lucy was introduced. An interesting update of the partnership and I enjoyed the new dynamics however the person reading Lucy’s part was so frustrating. The character , Lucy , is American as was the reader however her attempts at the English & cocky characters was cringeworthy. The characters she portrayed would waver through varied accents ( poor cocky to Scottish to unrecognisable) often the same voice was used on multiple characters and her inflections were irritating. It was so bad I listened to 2 books and abandoned what I viewed as a promising series 😞
Then I investigated later volumes and came across a replacement in the name of Mary Jane Wells and am pleased I did. I am again enjoying this series. The episodes are sadly shorter although no less entertaining. Hopefully Mary Jane will continue so I can enjoy more of her adventures .

Great story but oh the character of Lucy is ruined 😞
