Historia
London, 1922: Two years after helping Sherlock Holmes solve the Hangman Murders, American journalist Enoch Hale becomes even more intimately involved in another puzzling mystery. Langdale Pike, veteran purveyor of gossip to the trash newspapers, is poisoned while sipping tea with Hale - and apparently just as he is about to spill a secret more important than social gossip. With the unrequested aid of advertising copywriter Dorothy Sayers, Hale pursues a number of leads based on notes in Pike's pocket diary - including an interview with the formidable G.K. Chesterton.

Historia
When misadventure led a schoolboy in London to employment at Baker Street, few could have guessed where his introduction to Sherlock Holmes would lead. But as the lad matures and he finds himself caught in the middle of a murder investigation, his friendship with Holmes and Watson lures him into the role of detective. 'Billy' documents his experiences, and soon his sleuthing skills not only bring him to another murder, but also lay the foundation for his metamorphosis into a famous mystery writer.

But their excursion was rudely interrupted when murders most heinous came to light. The so-called Devils’ Foot was a deadly substance of unknown origin that kills when inhaled.

Scarlett took her degrees in archaeology, a subject that was finding new ground. She became an academic at Cambridge in the recently founded women's college: Newnham. Archaeology was not regarded as a serious subject and so was available to young women, whereas medicine and mathematics continued as the preserve of men, Despite the single subject of her degree she was a polymath and fulminated at the lack of appreciation of her other talents.

Resumen del Editor
Arthur Conan Doyle was a GP before he became a writer. He uses his medical knowledge widely in the Sherlock Holmes stories. He bases the deductive skills of his hero detective on the diagnostic techniques a GP uses with a patient. He even gives Sherlock a GP sidekick. This all contributes to the enduring popularity of the Sherlock Holmes stories, over 130 years after the first story was published.
An amazing 52 diseases feature in the Sherlock Holmes stories. This includes many that remain significant parts of a GP's workload today - diabetes, asthma, ischaemic heart disease, stroke. There are then other diseases that have largely died out in the UK due to advances in medical science - diphtheria, brain fever, rickets, tetanus.
The Medical Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson takes a definitive look at how Conan Doyle uses these 52 diseases in the stories. It also gives a historical perspective on the Victorian understanding of the diseases, using the textbooks Conan Doyle would very likely have had sitting on his consulting room shelves.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

The series features the stories of a forgotten cohort of early internet visionaries, countercultural social networks, the digital gold rush, and the lavish events that came with it, including one held in an underground Tribeca bunker that abruptly ended in a police raid—a harbinger of the upheaval to come.

Historia
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Holmes vs Syphillis?
In the enthralling audiobook "The Medical Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson" by Nick Howlett, expertly narrated by Adam Blanford, listeners are treated to a captivating journey into the intricate world of Victorian medicine as illuminated by the brilliant mind of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This unique exploration dives deep into the Sherlock Holmes stories, shedding light on over 52 diseases featured in the tales and offering a profound understanding of their historical context.
Nick Howlett, drawing on his expertise as a physician, masterfully weaves together citations from the Holmes books, comparisons with contemporary Victorian medical texts, and his own insightful commentary. As an amateur scientist, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the meticulous exploration of how Doyle seamlessly integrated medical knowledge into his detective stories. What sets this audiobook apart is its accessibility to both medical professionals and avid Holmes fans alike.
The brilliance of Arthur Conan Doyle lies not only in his storytelling prowess but also in his ability to infuse the deductive skills of Sherlock Holmes with the diagnostic techniques employed by a general practitioner. Howlett brilliantly dissects this aspect, unraveling the symbiotic relationship between Holmes and his GP sidekick, Dr. John Watson, and showcasing the enduring popularity of these stories over 130 years since their inception.
What truly sets "The Medical Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson" apart is its comprehensive exploration of the 52 diseases featured in the Holmes tales. From diabetes and asthma, still prevalent in today's medical landscape, to diseases that have faded into obscurity in the UK due to medical advancements—such as diphtheria, brain fever, rickets, and tetanus—the audiobook provides a fascinating historical perspective on Victorian medicine.
The narratives of these diseases are not merely clinical entries but are dissected in the context of their role in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Howlett delves into how these medical conditions play pivotal roles in shaping the plot, adding layers of complexity to Doyle's narratives. This approach not only enhances our understanding of Victorian medicine but also enriches the appreciation of the Holmes tales themselves.
Just as an FYI here is a short list of Doyle tales that feature illnesses: Typhoid Fever: In "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," Dr. Grimesby Roylott attempts to use a venomous snake to kill his stepdaughter Helen Stoner. The snake, a swamp adder, was imported from India and was known to be deadly. While not a disease, it's a medical element with deadly consequences.
Leprosy: Leprosy is mentioned in "The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier" as a plot point. The story revolves around a soldier who contracts leprosy during his military service in India.
Smallpox: In "The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist," Holmes mentions smallpox as part of a disguise. Smallpox was a highly contagious and deadly disease prevalent in the 19th century.
Opium Addiction: While not a disease in the traditional sense, opium addiction is explored in "The Man with the Twisted Lip." Holmes encounters a character, Isa Whitney, who is found in an opium den.
Oh, and if you're wondering about my headline, some of the stories may indirectly touch upon social issues related to health and morality, but explicit discussions or investigations of syphilis are not prominent in Doyle's original works. If you're interested in exploring Victorian attitudes toward health and disease in literature, you might find references to various medical conditions, but syphilis is not a central theme in the Holmes canon.
Adam Blanford's narration is a sheer delight, elevating the audiobook to new heights. With a keen understanding of the characters, Blanford masterfully adopts appropriate voices when reading excerpts from the books, bringing Holmes, Watson, and the supporting cast to life. His regular narration voice is equally engaging, maintaining a seamless flow throughout the audiobook.
Despite the scientific terminology peppered throughout the book, Howlett ensures that the material remains accessible to all listeners. Whether you're a medical professional seeking a historical perspective or a devoted Holmes fan looking to delve deeper into the intricacies of the stories, "The Medical Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson" caters to a diverse audience.
I wholeheartedly recommend this audiobook to anyone intrigued by the intersection of literature and medicine. Nick Howlett's meticulous research, coupled with Adam Blanford's outstanding narration, makes for an enriching and enjoyable experience. "The Medical Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson" is not just a glimpse into Victorian medicine; it's a riveting journey through the lens of one of literature's most iconic detectives.

Impressive review of diseases in ACD’s Holmes canon
This book is a fascinating view into 50+ medical diseases mentioned in the Holmes books. The author, Nick Howlett, describes the medical conditions using citations / passages in the books, comparisons contemporary Victorian medical texts, and his own commentary as a physician and medical expert. I am a scientist and was thoroughly engrossed in this book. However, despite the fact that the book is filled with scientific terminology, the book is written for any Holmes fan. The narration by Adam Blanford is wonderful. He creates the appropriate voices for the characters while reading the book excerpts, and narrates the rest of the book in his regular voice. I recommend this interesting, well researched glimpse at Victorian medicine through the eyes of ACD’s characters. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.
