About this listen

Meet Harriet White, Sherlock Holmes' feisty – and entirely fake – assistant, in this gloriously fun mystery, perfect for fans of Anita Prose, Verity Bright and Janice Hallett.

London, 1932. A young maid steps onto a train… and disappears. Her family writes to the only person they can think of to help: Sherlock Holmes. A shame then, that Mr Holmes isn’t real. But then, from a basement beneath 221b Baker Street, someone replies…

Harriet White knows responding to the maid’s family could land her in hot water, but she’s no stranger to trouble. It was refusing to cow to her over-familiar boss that saw her demoted to the postal department of their Baker Street head office in the first place. Her new job is to work through the mountain of correspondence addressed to the street’s most famous resident. But when this letter catches her eye, she knows she must do something to help the missing girl.

Harriet decides to act as Holmes’ new assistant, armed with only her love of Conan Doyle’s stories to guide her. But can she solve the case of the missing maid? Or does she risk losing her job – or much, much more – in the process?

The story was fairly average but the narrator had a very annoying habit of intermittently gasping for breath at the end of sentences. It’s normally either edited out or not as noticeable but with this narrator it was all the way through and really drew me out of the story and spoilt the enjoyment. I listened for 4hrs but it got ridiculous so I gave up.
