Summary
Raffles, the famous cricketer and amateur cracksman, is back in an original adventure.
Harry "Bunny" Manders, Raffles' biographer and accomplice, recounts the tale of the time they broke into the bookshop Hatchard's of Piccadilly. Their mission? To steal a letter, formally owned by one Rene d'Aramis, which if published could compromise a prominent member of the government. Yet even more intriguing than their employment is their employer - a certain Mr Sherlock Holmes of 221b Baker Street. How will the master criminal fare against the legendary detective?
In this stunning re-creation of the classic Raffles stories, Richard Foreman brings one of the most famous characters in literature vividly back to life.

A good book
The narrative was very good and easy to listen to.
The story was good but a little thin , I kept expecting a big event to happen. I dont want to spoil the story so I will be vague, how did the journalist know what Raffels was upto ? what if anything was the significance of the clumsy waiter ? ( was it SH )

A lighthearted yarn
A witty little tale of adventure with a cameo from the great Sheock Holmes. The narrator captures quintessential London near the turn of the century, as seen through the eyes of a gentleman theif's accomplice.

A wonderful homage to the original stories and characters
The narration, plot and understanding of the original characters were superb; first class, in fact! Highly and thoroughly recommend to fans of Holmes or Raffles, or indeed, any fans of a ripping yarn!
