About this listen
Narrated by Laurence Bouvard and Edward Petherbridge. A lovely American actress awakens in London on a cold morning in 1897 - lying face down on the concrete pavement outside the British Museum. She has no memories. She does not even know who she is, although she has a vague recollection of the name Sherlock Holmes. What she believes is that she has may have just killed someone, and that someone is definitely trying to kill her. As she searches for clues to her true identity, she will learn that she is not the only target. Unless she can defeat her evil adversaries, the people most dear to her will die.

I thought that the first half was way too drawn out, and got rather tedious, the second half was a lot better, but still not up to the standard of other books by these authors that I have listened to.
The main problem that I had was the number of 'Americanisms' i.e. using American English to describe things in London, I appreciate that Lucy James is american, but there are several occasions where other characters also Americanisms and I also thought that the language and manner of talking was too modern in quite a few places. I found this particularly annoying because there was a lot less of this in the other stories. I also thought that the accents used slipped a bit in places.
So although I did enjoy the second half overall, this is far from being the best work by the authors or the narrators.
Feels like two separate stories

The thing that made this book so fantastic was the narrators! They were superb. The other books in the series have these narrators and they are horrible.
I absolutely loved this book but I won’t buy others

Another reviewer said "if you liked books 1 and 2, don't bother with this one" and I should have read that first! Take heed, books 1 and 2 are really enjoyable, this one... in my humble opinion, is very poor in comparison - not least of all the awful narration by Laurence Bouvard.
Edward Petherbridge is an excellent narrator and it's a shame (for him) that he wasn't left to do it justice as he was in the first 2 books. For a brief moment I was delighted to have found a new series of books to listen to but, unfortunately, even if they replaced Bouvard with a better narrator, the storyline just isn't anything like "Sherlock Holmes" calibre I'm afraid. I will try book 4 - as that has 2 different narrators (I suspect Petherbridge probably refused to read anything else in the series) but don't hold out much hope now.
