A Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery

De: Anna Elliott, Charles Veley

Narrado por: Laurence Bouvard, Edward Petherbridge

Narrated by Laurence Bouvard and Edward Petherbridge. A lovely American actress awakens in London on a cold morning in 1897 - lying face down on the concrete pavement outside the British Museum. She has no memories. She does not even know who she is, although she has a vague recollection of the name Sherlock Holmes. What she believes is that she has may have just killed someone, and that someone is definitely trying to kill her. As she searches for clues to her true identity, she will learn that she is not the only target. Unless she can defeat her evil adversaries, the people most dear to her will die.

A fun listen

~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book.~

I would note I have not read the first two books in this series, which makes this a fitting start to the series, because neither I nor the MC know who she is at the start of the book. It honestly wasn’t a bad introduction to the series. Given that these books are on KU, I’m likely to pick up the first book now.

Sherlock Holmes is a popular character and I believe this book stays true to his character. Lucy is an engaging protagonist and very likable. I enjoyed her as a balance to Sherlock as she is compassionate and showed the zeal of youth in her pursuit of finding the truth. Watson didn’t play a large role in the story, but did get to show his ability to understand human nature and his own investigative prowess a few times.

I feel if you are a fan of crime solving novels and a fan of Holmes you will likely enjoy this book.

Narration was great. I love when books have more than one narrator. It gives a lot of personality to each of the characters. Edward Petherbridge plays an excellent Holmes.

Weakest in series

This was my third listen to a book in the new Charles Veley series, and was by far the weakest in my opinion.

The premise of Lucy‘s amnesia strained credulity. And the incredibly long, drawn out, still not declared by the end of the book yet totally obvious from the very beginning love between Lucy and Jack was annoying.

The narration was fine, although I preferred the voices of Holmes and Watson in the earlier books.

Highly recommended

Ring, well written, well performed, good Nas, for a better rendition you will be pleased. I very highly recommend it.

Excellent

I was pleasantly surprised this turned out to be a really good book. The male and female readers did a great job with the male and female voices. It didn’t detract from the storyline at all. Very happy with the plot. Very enjoyable!

Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery

In this book, Lucy has lost her memory and meets Jack and Becky. The plot lines were decent and the narrators were good, but not outstanding.
