Sherlock Holmes and Dorian Gray

The Classified Dossier

De: Christian Klaver

Narrado por: Russ Bain

Mysterious socialite Dorian Gray is at the centre of Sherlock Holmes' latest investigation in this astonishing, uncanny mash-up of Victorian mystery and horror

1903

Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson have tickets to the newly arrived Egyptian Circus. Holmes is puzzled by his brother Mycroft's cryptic gift but is intrigued enough to attend the next production.

The performers, dressed as wondrous half-animal, half-human gods from Egyptian mythology, display superhuman agility and stunts. But they speak no Arabic, sequester themselves in the stables after each show and take orders from a mysterious ring master who is yet to be seen. And then one of the performers is murdered.

Holmes's enquires lead him to Montebank Manor, the home of the beautiful and secretive socialite Dorian Gray. As Holmes digs deeper, he learns Gray is hiding much more than his involvement in a murder. It's a darkly fantastical tale of lies, experimentation, hypnosis and wicked ambition.

not as good as the others

I liked the basic story, but it seemed not as well done as the others. I didn't like the way it was from Draculas point of view but didn't feel accurate to his character. plus the voices were not as well done as the last books. overall...its ok. but as a fan of the others, it's not the best read on audible

Not what you expect

It’s not a good Sherlock Holmes book and it’s not a good retelling of the picture of Dorian Gray. It would’ve been better if it was some kind of Frankenstein retelling. it has absolutely zero to do with the novel by Oscar Wilde and I was extremely disappointed. The premise with everything going on is absolutely bizarre and unrelated to Sherlock Holmes and Dorian Gray. It’s written just fine and the narrator was all right but if you’re expecting a Sherlock Holmes novel or a retelling of Dorian Gray, this isn’t it.

Loved it!

This was my favorite of the series!
Too bad there can't be more
What a great series!

The Game is a foot or Paw?

Another great listen... I can't get enough of these Dossiers... Hope they make more... But until then I'll just have these on repeat...

good narration

I read the first book and it was ok. However, I'm stopping here with this series, it just isnt for me. There's very little holmes presence here while Watson and Dracula + side characters take center stages. This writer got carried away with the monsters story lines, and just like the other two books, the supernatural is foremost the driven force behind the series Not Holmes and his deductions. So if you like monsters action stories with holmes on the sideline, this might be for you. For me, this series lacks too much of all the intriguing mystery and deductions a canonical holmes story would have.

rediculous

vampires? this is garbage! wasted a credit on this drivel. what an insult to holmes. trash.
