About this listen

What is a crimson trail? Is it blood? Or paint? Or yarn? Why would Sherlock Holmes revisit a previously solved case? How could an open window be important and how can a house be blackmailed?

Dr. John Watson reveals the answers to these questions in The Crimson Trail and Other Stories along with cases involving the disappearance of a poet's intended, a Christmas card clue, a missing tiara, a caped murderer, a vampire attack, and a mythical moor creature.

Ten traditional pastiches with a touch of fantasy here and there were published in Holmes anthologies at Belanger Books in the US, MX Publishing in the UK and Proceedings of the Pondicherry Lodge, the Sherlock Holmes Society of India.

Brenda Seabrooke is the author of 22 books for young readers and The Persian Slipper and Other Stories, MX Publishing. Her stories have been published in more than 40 anthologies and literary journals. She received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Robie Macauley Award from Emerson College and was a finalist for the Edgar Allan Poe Award at Mystery Writers of America.

I enjoy the Holmes&Watson genre and have listened to many of them.

This one showed Holmes with a sensitive streak, which I had to heard before. I am not sure that a laid back Holmes is as good as a forthright one though.

All in all it was a good listen. The narrator did a good job at the various voices.

A well done audiobook
