About this listen
When two prison guards are found beheaded in the barren countryside surrounding Her Majesty's Prison at Wormwood Scrubs, Inspector Lestrade seeks Holmes' singular powers to determine how the murders could have been committed in separate locations with the only footprints being those of the murdered guards themselves. With Doctor Watson at his side, Holmes sets out on this new adventure and uncovers deeper mysteries still; mysteries that will not only test the detectives' powers of observation and deduction, but his skepticism of the paranormal as well.

A worthy effort and worth a listen.
For a listener always in search of new Sherlock Holmes stories it can be tough to find good ones. This one may not be perfect but it's a good story, can be finished in an evening, and has a reading that doesn't get in the way - give it a go.
There are many 'new' Sherlock stories including some by big names but there are far more by unknowns. Sadly, many are strewn with Americanisms (Holmes and Watson would never have said, or written, 'train station'). Then there are those whose recordings have truly shocking production values or with readings that prevent enjoying even a good story.
This has neither of the above problems. Language choice seemed unusual in a couple of places but didn't detract from the story and, while the narration wasn't as good as some I've heard, I was able to get lost in the story (except for a certain Sgt. who was a bit off). That said, even established narrators can make perplexing pronunciation choices etc at times. Try it.
