Sherlock Holmes and the Rosetta Stone Mystery

Early Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, Book 1

By: Linda Stratmann

Narrated by: Nigel Patterson

Before Dr. Watson, there was Mr. Stamford . . .

London, 1876

Mr. Stamford meets Sherlock Holmes while studying at St. Bartholomew's Medical College in London. With his intense stare and unorthodox methods of doing things, Holmes has already gained a reputation as an eccentric but brilliant man.

When suspected intruders are sighted at the British Museum, Holmes is called upon to give his opinion of what happened.

But before he can come to any conclusions, something horrifying happens—one of the great treasures of the world, the priceless Rosetta Stone, is stolen from the museum.

The thieves have left a note demanding a ransom. And if it is not fulfilled they threaten to cast the Stone into the ocean so it can never be found again.

With the police on the wrong track, it is down to Holmes to solve the complex case. And when the burglary case turns into a murder investigation, it becomes a race against time before more victims are killed.

Enjoyable view of Holmes’s early years.

Liked the narrator especially. Fun plot. Be careful when looking for Sherlock tales. Dont listen to the stories with ai narrator!

Worthwhile listen for any Sherlock fan

Having listened to the Sherlock canon a few times already, this was a great listen. Overall a worthwhile listen especially for fans.

classic sherlock junior

a little more detail on the villian's purpose and means would have been nice...not evil enough..............

Well done!

Not Conan Doyle, but admirably done. Enjoyed the addition of a new sidekick for Holmes. Book held my interest throughout and I think I’ll look forward to more from this author.
