About this listen

It’s the autumn of 1890, and a spate of bombings has hit London. The newspapers are full of fevered speculation about anarchists, antimonarchists and Fenians. But one man suspects an even more sinister hand behind the violence.

Sherlock Holmes believes Professor Moriarty is orchestrating a nationwide campaign of terror, but to what end? At the same time, a bizarrely garbed figure has been spotted on the rooftops and in the grimy back alleys of the capital.

He moves with the extraordinary agility of a latter-day Spring-heeled Jack. He possesses weaponry and armor of unprecedented sophistication. He is known only by the name Baron Cauchemar, and he appears to be a scourge of crime and villainy. But is this masked man truly the force for good that he seems? Is he connected somehow to the bombings?

Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. Watson are about to embark on one of their strangest and most exhilarating adventures yet.

I really enjoy these Sherlock stories, and the narrator is brilliant! I'm not a fan of the other series, which focuses on a more fantasy style.

Great Fun

The story mixes genres, making it a unique experience.
These genres bring more excitement and intrigue into the book.
On the other hand, there is a gap in the clues, implying coincidence, or at least not clearly explained.
On the whole, an excellent read, well performed.

Very good book

This was the least good Sherlock holmes lovegrove book I’ve read so far. The storyline was predictable and Watson was so stupid at times it seemed a bit ridiculous. Even so it’s still worth a listen

Okay

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great mixing of Conan Doyle's style and steam punk... plus a dash of Verne. Good narration except for some jarring mispronunciatons!

Steampunk Holmes
