For the most part the story was good. However at times it became tiresomely convoluted which left my mind wandering. Rewinding was a necessity. The narrator and accents of the different characters were all terrific.

Enjoyable listen but

The story was mostly fine, though I found some of the language early on to be a bit coarse against language from the numerous Sherlock stories I've read.

The narration was not great. Sometimes it felt that it was delivered with as much passion as the football scores.

Slightly disappointed

This book I really enjoyed! I felt the ghost of Conan Doyle weaving through it. I hope there will be many more from this new writer who I think will rise to the top with Mycroft, good luck, I will be watching for the next one🌟

it's a great story but Mycroft energetic and in love? nope just not right and Sherlock is to cold and unlikable, the story however is very enjoyable but not as clever as Doyle's work sadly.
