The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes

De: C. Thorne

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Allow us to present the novella Death in the Black Forest, the most recent volume in The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes, where a Medieval castle in the heart of Germany’s fabled Black Forest sounds like the most idyllic spot imaginable, and yet it is to just this locale that Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are summoned amid the notoriously cold winter of January 1887, after four young men in domestic service at the castle have been found dead following what are claimed to be bizarre accidents. Two have fallen from the castle battlements, one was found drowned in the dark waters of the estate’s lake, and a fourth was discovered in his bed in a pose of advanced rigor mortis, mere hours after retiring for the night. These disturbing deaths having come to the attention of Duke Otto of Saxony, none other than cousin to Edward, Prince of Wales, Holmes is sent away to ascertain the truth of the sinister incidents, declaring them either a most unusual string of misfortune, or the work of an almost phantom-like murderer, who hunts his victims with decidedly ruthless precision. The shocking truth to the matter may be found within the suspense-filled pages of C. Thorne’s latest work!
