A heart-warming Victorian Christmas mystery with a touch of peril, this story is performed by award-winning narrators Simon Prebble and Wendy Tremont King. When Sir Henry Baskerville, now happily married, invites Sherlock Holmes to Baskerville Hall, that infamous baronial mansion in darkest Devonshire, the entire Baker Street team accepts his invitation for a family holiday. But Sir Henry has an ulterior motive and the powers of evil are at work. This visit will not proceed as Sherlock and Lucy expected!

Invited to Baskerville Hall for Chrismas several years after the successful conclusion of the Hound case, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson arrive on the day before Christmas Eve, together with Lucy, Beckie, Jack and Prince the dog to learn of a new murder case. With two men dead, the investigation begins.
An intriguing little detective story sadly spoiled by one of the two narrators who alternated the reading chapter by chapter. Whilst Simon Pebble was excellent in his performance further enhancing the period feel to the story.and deserving a 5 star.rating, Wendy Fremont King was truly terrible. Her reading was too slow in pace, her accents ludicrous and voices irritatingly awful, all performed with an interrogattve up turn of sentence endings which almost brought my listening to an end. Why.there was, anyway, a need for two narrators unless it was an attempt to distance these stories from the original Conan Doyle diaries of Dr.Watson, I do not understand.
This is the first of the Holmes and Lucy books that I have read and, whilst I very much look forward to more, I fervently hope that Ms.Fremont King is not narrating.

"A fair wicked piece of work, tben."

There are some great adaptations of Sherlock Holmes stories plus new stories using the original characters, but sadly, this isn't one of them. Frankly, the whole thing is rather ridiculous, characters included.

Narration: the male narrator is excellent, the female narrator hard to listen to.

Disappointing (abusing original characters)

What can I say that I haven’t already said about the awesome imagination of both authors Anna Elliott & Charles Veley ?

Excellently written mystery with nice spins.
Way to short which especially as an audiobook needs to be a part of a few as a book set, otherwise won’t sell.

Again as I said before great narration by both narrators Simon Prebble & Wendy Termont King.

I have listened to a few of the stories in this series, where Sherlock Holmes is joined by his daughter Lucy, and they are enjoyable and clever tales, very much in the style of the original stories.
This relates a Christmas holiday return to Baskerville hall, the venue for the infamous 'Hound of the Baskervilles' story. On their arrival they are confronted by a murder, apparently by another big beast. Holmes and his team need to find out how the man died, and why.
Even though this is quite a short story, the plot is still quite convoluted and complex, it does need to be concentrated on to follow the twists and turns.
There were fewer Americanisms in this tale than there have been in other stories in this series, which is a plus, but unfortunately the issue of accents is no better, Wendy Tremont King is particularly bad at reproducing Becky's accent, it is worse than Dick Van Dyke's infamous 'mockney' accent in Mary Poppins. Simon Prebble is however very good as Watson, I am still unsure whether I like the alternating narrations or if it would be better with a single narrator.
Overall however I did enjoy this audio book and it was enjoyable to return to many of the characters in the original Baskerville story and see how they had got on.
