About this listen
Professor James Moriarty has one desire left in his shattered life...revenge.
All he wants is to shame the man who ruined him and stop the brute from harming anyone else. Then he meets amber-eyed Angelina Gould and his world turns upside down.
An exploding steam engine kills a man at the International Exhibition. While Moriarty examines the wreckage, Sherlock Holmes appears, sent to investigate by Moriarty’s enemy. Holmes finds evidence that points at Moriarty, who realizes he must either solve the crime or swing it for it himself. He soon uncovers evidence of fraud and an unscrupulous company promoter. As he pursues those leads, he bumps into the alluring Angelina at every turn. She’s playing some game, but what’s her goal? And whose side is she on?
Between them, Holmes and Angelina push Moriarty to his limits - and beyond. He’ll have to lose himself to save his life and win the woman he loves.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of this book is that I found myself becoming very invested in the romantic life of Professor Moriarty, which isn't a sentence I ever thought I'd write.
Well worth a listen!

I adore all the Sherlock Holmes stories but maybe it's just me but anyone - real or fiction - who is always right and sings their own praises makes me wish that at least once they are wrong, fail, nothing that causes harm to them or their reputation but just enough to stop them thinking they are a supreme being who all are beneath them and hopefully will realise they are just like others, human and humans can be wrong at the time.
So enter Anna Castles Moriarty and we find a man known in the Sherlock Holmes world as the arch-villain the nemesis of Sherlock who is as is Sherlock a man who was not born into the world as an evil genius. He is given a past which shows he is a man just like all men who can be hurt, love and just wants to earn a living.
This first book introduces him to us and fleshes him out and gives us a possible first meeting with Sherlock.
The story is about Moriarty, not Sherlock - he is a minor yet important character.
The author has i feel caught the 'real' Sherlock' that we know, love and become irritated within my view.
It's very easy on the ear but gives flesh to all in the book.
The narrator Jill Smith is a great choice and I enjoy her narration so much - just one little thing that grated on me - the word Marmalade is not spoken ( here in the UK anyway) as Marmalad but as Marmalaid.
If you are a lover or a hater of Sherlock Holmes but love crime novels then this book is a must as I hope are all the other books in the series. Enjoy
Extra - I bought books 1-3 in the series although as yet only listened to Book 1 and the author herself has kindly given me Book 4 for free and I will update this review as I have listened to them.
