A mystery begins during the Great War of 1918, when young Gabriel Hughenfort, dies amidst scandalous rumours that have haunted the family for years. Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are called upon to uncover the truth. A missing diary, a purloined bundle of letters and a trail of ominous clues comprise a mystery that will call for Holmes's cleverest disguises and Russell's most daring journeys into the unknown!

Nearly didn't get this due to the previous reviews. Concluded they just didn't like the series in general. I really enjoyed this one and would recommend it - provided that you do like the series! Couldn't disagree more with other reviewers; didn't find the English upper class stuff anachronistic - it was after all set in 1924. I would, however, recommend it to be read/heard AFTER O Jerusalem (which I would in fact rate slightly lower than this one) because otherwise much of the premise of this story would be far less meaningful.

Excellent if heart breaking story. Sherlock and wife at their best, better fully understood if 'O Jerusalem' read first.

Totally absorbing

I have really enjoyed this series, and the building of characters and narrative with each new book. I would recommend any listener come to the books in order or they will make much less sense.

Great telling of interesting story

It's okay. The story itself is fine. It is mostly in England with a brief visit to France, the characters are well written - just longer than it needed to be in my opinion.

Well written but too long.

Has Justice Hall put you off other books in this genre?

No - just books by this author

Would you listen to another book narrated by Jenny Sterlin?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

I find the contrivance of a married Sherlock Homes and the stereo-typing of the British aristocracy rather difficult to swallow. If you want to know about like in the Middle East in the early part of the 20th century Freya Stark is a more credible source!

Just didn't do it for me
