Raymond Bannister is a wealthy man living a secure life. He is found slashed down in a dirty alleyway, in a part of town he had no reason to be in. The crime and the crimescene are inexplicable to Chief Inspector Lestrade, and he seeks the help of his new consultant detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Though this first mystery is quickly solved, it has deep connections to a far larger, and far grimmer case. We are lead back in time, to India, and the disturbing origins of a group of children who call themselves 'the Irregulars'. Can this be the key to Sherlock Holme's identity? And who is the new, mysterious and cruel new player who has entered the London underworld? His signature is just theletter M. Meanwhile the emotions between Missy Hudson and John Watson are stirring, as a certain Mary Morstan comes knocking at their door on Baker Street. Listen to the second installment of the Becoming Sherlock series. What listeners have said: - 'As good as the previous novel Twisting plot. Excellent narration. This second novel builds on the characterisations of the first and fleshes out some of the 'Sherlock' backstory. However, it leaves enough unexplained to make you want to move on to novel number three.' - 'Excellent narration and brought new dimensions to familiar characters I enjoyed the other Anthony Horowitz takes on Sherlock, Moriarty and the House of Silk were both very good and different in their own right. This again is familiar but different.' - 'Riveting Hope there is a book 3 as I will be very disappointed if I cannot hear more of these dystopian adventures' - 'A very clever concept perfectly executed. This is clever stuff. Apocalyptic London. Re-imagined Watson & Holmes. A solid storyline. Intriguing characters. Hugely enjoyed both the books in this series. More please.'©2024 Storyside (P)2024 Storyside Mystery Science Fiction Historical

the 1st in th is series is credited to horowitz, the second is by naughton based on a book by horowitz, the 3rd by another author, sherlock holmes stories are favorites of mine. mr horowitz is a favorite author. his writing style and quality keep me engaged and appear to continue here.
this book introduces a totally new way of looking at the main characters in the original stories by conan doyle. the author presents old storiesa in a new way that captures the imagination. it broadens a person's thinking about sherlock and dr watson. .the writing is vivid. the narration is superb. I regret not capturing the name for this review. each character is distinct. a thoroughly enjoyable read.

this series has a great narrator, and narrative, is a very cool, gritty, hard sci type of world building but very underplayed and in the background with the focus firmly on the characters and their motivations, as it should be. an inspired twist on the classic characters and dynamics of the originals

great all around

This is a thoroughly enjoyable take on the Holmes canon. It’s like finding Easter Eggs with every new location, person, circumstance. Anticipating a third installment, and hoping for many more.

Enjoyable start to finish
