I enjoyed the other Anthony Horowitz takes on Sherlock, Moriaty and the House of Silk were both very good and different in their own right. This again is familiar but different and the setting also gives a new slant on the familiar characters a cross between Sherlock the TV show with cumberbatch and freeman and the original stories with the post apocalyptic London reverting to a more traditional setting. I loved everything about it and the narration was really EXCELLENT. I listened to both back to back in less than a week, more please!

Excellent narration and brought new dimensions to familiar characters

Another clever novel from AH. Loved the little through backs to the originals and the recent TV series, all these little things are worth seeking out. The twist on the characters adds to the interest. Now waiting for the finale and Mycroft / Moriarity reveal. Oh, and great narration too.
I'm confused by the end credits -'written by Sara Jane Naughton' and 'based on an idea by Anthony Horowitz' - quite different from 'By: Anthony Horowitz'.

Thoroughly enjoyable

This story is, on a philosophical level, an exploration of what it means to be human. It is a cracking crime story, with familiar characters viewed through an original lens. The development of the relationship between Watson and Holmes is wonderful and is given a very different perspective. I really enjoyed this and look forward to more.

Familiar and yet original.

This was enthralling and such a wonderfully different take on the general story. Can’t wait to read the next one.

A terrific listen

Hope there is a book 3 as I will be very disappointed if I cannot hear more of these dystopian adventures
