Narrated by Laurence Bouvard and Edward Petherbridge. A lovely American actress awakens in London on a cold morning in 1897 - lying face down on the concrete pavement outside the British Museum. She has no memories. She does not even know who she is, although she has a vague recollection of the name Sherlock Holmes. What she believes is that she has may have just killed someone, and that someone is definitely trying to kill her. As she searches for clues to her true identity, she will learn that she is not the only target. Unless she can defeat her evil adversaries, the people most dear to her will die.

Anna Elliott & Charles Veley have a great novel!

The authors have written a fantastic novel, full of intrigue and suspense! The narration is superb, bringing the characters to life!

Another good one in this series...

This is book #3 in the Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery series. As with book #2, this installment didn't focus directly on Sherlock. I felt book #2 was more Watson and this one is mainly about Lucy James (Watson is rarely seen). Despite me wanting to have more Sherlock and less of the "extra" characters, I can't deny this was a good listen.

In this book, Lucy James losses her memory in the middle of a case she is working with Sherlock Holmes (hence the title -remember, remember). As the story unfolds, Lucy tries to remember who she is and why she was doing the things she did. I hate giving spoilers, so I will say no more.

As I said, the story was good...but not great. I felt that a lot of the dialogue and some of Lucy's internal dialogue were pointless and immature. I'm not sure if that is how the author intends Lucy to present herself (immature), but that is how I felt at times.

The narration was GREAT! I'm even searching for more books by Laurence Bouvard to see what other great reads she does.

Narration was a bit boring, monotonous

Except for the narration, this was a great book. I loved the initial plot and the characters. The majority of the book was Lucy speaking in the first person and the voice for Lucy soon became boring and monotonous to me, otherwise all the other characters were fine. I liked the interactions between Holmes and Lucy as father and daughter. It was a pleasant change from the staid, all about the case attitude of Holmes. He is warming up to the idea that he actually has a daughter. Little Becky was a delight and Jack is going to be a good match for Lucy. Really enjoyed the story except for the narrators choice of voice for Lucy.

What a fantastic series!

What a great story! I really love Lucy's character, and I particularly liked that we spend almost the first half of the book just with her, trying to find who she is. And finding a handsome constable in the process *laughs*

I really like Jack, his relationship with his sister is lovely and showcases the kind of man he is. And Becky is loads of fun, she will be a deserving disciple of Holmes *g*

One thing I enjoyed was the way in which the romance develops, dealing with the obvious issues of class and money in a way that's perfect for the characters involved.

Once Lucy recovers her memory, the whole plot comes to life, and it was a really good one. Holmes and Lucy are working together not only to foil the German plot but also to clean Jack's name. Yep, he has been arrested, and charged with the murder of his former Sargent /0\

One of the things that I really enjoyed was that Lucy was learning not only from Holmes but also from Watson. Having her cite him in her head is a fantastic way to show how deeply the relationship between these two delves.

A lot of tense moments, great intrigue and a wonderful ending; this series is pure gold :)

Another great story

The story was great. The performance was better. The characters are progressing nicely with each edition.
