Moriarty: Sherlock Holmes, Book 2

Amazing twist
A "page turner"
Def a keeper; can't wait for the next one
Now I will read the first in the series

I could not be more pleased with this story. I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan and I was not disappointed at all! The narrator was absolutely incredible and I will definitely look for other stories voiced by him!

I liked "The House of Silk" better. I found this a little too easy to figure out, but enjoyed it anyway. And the narrators are great!

A surprisingly good book with an excellent voice actor with a surprise twist at the end. Highly recommended to anyone.

Not sure. It's a little heavy. Sometime it gets lost in it's own story. Maybe on the next listen I catch what ever I lost in the story. It might be that I'm looking for Holmes and he's not there. Moriarity was always like an after thought.

I think the story dragged in a few spots. The narration was ok. Maybe if it was a shorter book.

No.

There is little to say without giving the fun away. The story is enthralling as an one of Sherlock Holmes original.

I am puzzled at the negatives reviews for narrator Julian Rhind-Tutt. I thought he did a n excellent job and felt his performance added greatly to the drama of the story. As a Sherlock Holmes enthusiast, I enjoyed this tremendously. It felt true to the spirit of he original stories.

Better than expected.

The end when everything you thought turns out to be wrong!

Love Derek Jacobi. As always he does a fine job.Julian Rhind-Tutt's New York/American accent was quite weak in places. It was jarring come on top of Jacobi's performance. I think he just tried too hard to sound American.

When Mrs Jones was explaining her husband's office to Chase.

Off to get the first book now. Definitely will be following this series.

There are so many pieces of this audiobook that don't seem to work, but by the end of it all they did all work together -- the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Many of the accents seemed a little wrong, but I understood and that was OK. Some of the plot seemed wrong, but in minor ways that didn't detract from the flow. Somehow, it all worked together to create an enjoyable audiobook when all was said and done.

Although - as many have said - Sherlock doesn't appear in this book (taking place immediately after the Reichenbach Falls event), I don't agree that he doesn't isn't a part of this book.....His personality and notoriety are a strong factor in this book, playing a part in the actions of all the major characters. Still, I enjoyed it for what it is, not for being a part of the "Sherlock Holmes" world. The writing was good, the plot made sense without being too obvious, and the characters were interesting. I picked this title based on my enjoyment of House of Silk and not because I am a Holmes-ophile, and I was not disappointed.

I love Sherlock Holmes books, but I was so disturbed by the end of this book I wish I could get a refund. Why this is called Sherlock Holmes book two is beyond my powers of comprehension. I rarely write reviews, but this book was so disturbing I'm surprised anyone published it. I'm sorry if this offends someone who may have enjoyed this title, but I can't recommend it.
