About this listen

In the summer of 1994, a workman at the historic mansion of railroad baron James J. Hill in St. Paul, Minnesota, stumbles on a long-hidden wall safe. When experts arrive to open the safe and examine its contents, they make an astonishing discovery. There, inside, is a handwritten manuscript bearing the signature of John H. Watson, MD. The manuscript contains the story of how Sherlock Holmes and Watson traveled to Minnesota to track a murderous arsonist - known only as the Red Demon - who is threatening both Hill and his Great Northern Railway.

Set against the backdrop of the real, devastating Hinckley forest fire of 1894, Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon is the tense and atmospheric first novel in Larry Millett's classic series of adventures that brought Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to Minnesota.

Very good story of Holmes in America. Well worth listening. This story and other like this from modern authors expand the Holmes universe and makes it better and more interesting and complex.

Well worth a read

Really enjoyed it especially the explanation of how the missing story was found and where it was set - don’t want to say too much and give the game away for other readers

A very credible new Sherlock Holmes mystery

Fairly good story, but narrator drove me potty! One of the most frequently recurring words in the book was ‘depot’. He pronounced it ‘deepo’ every time. Aaargh! Lots of other American pronounciations that just sounded weird coming from Sherlock Holmes. I can’t decide if the narrator is an American with a good cod English accent, or an Englishman who has lived in the USA for a long time and gone native. Whatever the answer, it makes a decent story almost unlistenable. It’s a shame.

Good story, but spoiled by narrator’s pronounciation
