Seventeen Minutes to Baker Street

Sherlock Holmes and the American Literati, Book 3

By: Daniel D Victor

Narrated by: Ben Carling

Sherlock Holmes had never met a writer who had ridiculed him as bitterly as Samuel L. Clemens had. For that matter, Holmes had never met a writer who fancied himself a detective. Yet Sam Clemens not only unraveled Holmes' investigation into the murder of the hot-blooded woman on Thor Bridge, but also, while writing as Mark Twain, belittled Holmes' highly-touted detecting skills.

In this recently discovered narrative, Doctor Watson sets the record straight. He reveals other crimes related to the original murder while relating what prompted Clemens in a 1902 short story to deride the famous detective. Spurred on by such criticism, as well as by clues discovered in a classic tale by Bret Harte, Sherlock Holmes begins a new investigation, one that leads Holmes and Watson from the gardens of Windsor Castle to the spires of Oxford University in their efforts to track down a deranged assassin bent on wreaking even more havoc.

Outstanding!

Holmes & Watson work with Samuel Clemens to solve a murder with decades old roots. This is the third of Daniel D Victor’s SH and the American Literati series. The characters were true to form and there were a lot of references to both the ACD as well as Mark Twain’s novels and characters. It is a very good mystery and entertaining story. The narration was also outstanding. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

Narrator is fantastic

The narrator makes this book come alive! Each character is portrayed brilliantly and makes the story so much better! I would listen to any book that this narrator does. I will be looking for Mr. Carling in other books.

Truth stranger than fiction

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson along with Samuel Clements are on a twisted journey through stories of various American authors and their adventures with a startling event towards the ending unraveling it all.

Excellent

A fantastic tale involving a classic Sherlock story with new twists and history. Well done!

Story Revisited

A great revisit to the Problem at Thor Bridge story. Interesting inclusion of literary figures, especially Samuel Clements. A very exciting story.
