A Biased Judgement

The Sherlock Holmes Diaries 1897

By: Geri Schear

Narrated by: Dominic Lopez

Sherlock Holmes thrives on danger. Sudden knife attacks, being stalked, and facing a network of assassins present little more than a cheery break in the monotony. But the enigmatic Lady Beatrice presents danger of a different kind. Is she a murderer or a potential victim? Or something even more perilous? Uncovering her secrets could change Holmes's life forever, and in ways even he cannot anticipate. The newly-discovered Holmes diaries shed light on a tale so potent, Watson was never permitted to reveal it.

Different and enjoyable

Written from Sherlock’s point of view instead of Watson’s. The really unique thing here is extending Holmes behavior to places that, in a vacuum, might seem impossible but the author makes them entirely believable. In addition the mysteries extend from the trivial and personal to those of global importance. A good job of introducing some unusual elements while maintaining all of the usual and expected ones in top form.

Great story!

I’m very discerning when it comes to Sherlockian audiobooks. This is one of the ones that has it all!

Thank you

This was just what a Sherlock Fan needed someone to capture the Doyle's Spirit Of Writing!

I truly enjoyed this story

As with every book that takes Holmes by the road of romance, I approached this one with caution *laughs*

But I really, really liked it. Probably because: one, Sherlock Holmes is still him, he stays the man we all know and love; and two, Lady Beatrice is a very good character, a smart, strong lady with a very defined set of ideas about what she wants from life.

Having the story told from Holmes' POV was a great way to present it. I just love how skillfully and yet, subtly he writes about his emotions; it's simply perfect :D

And the mystery and the conspiracy's plots are concise and tightly written; interesting and compelling.

I will be searching for more stories by this author, that's for sure.

Enjoyable listen

Good pace, loyal to the Canon, well read. Read this one you'll read the next. Enjoyed Holmes experiencing frustration in complicated casework.... no easy brilliance in this, Holmes must grind. Beatrice is the perfect intellect to capture the Holmes brother's attention. Characters are well developed.... nice job Geri ! Looking forward to a third .
