The Case of the Three Species: The Mare, the Elephant, and the Pink Flamingo

Before Watson, Book 4

De: A S Croyle

Narrado por: Cathi Colas

In the fourth and final book in the Before Watson series, Sherlock Holmes and his companion and assistant, Dr. Poppy Stamford, embark on their greatest adventure yet. They are charged with solving not just one case, but three.

One involves bogus charges against Poppy's former stable boy. The second is their attempt to stop a wave of crime perpetrated by the Elephant Gang, the famous and ruthless girls' gang that terrorized London in the 19th century. The third is an investigation into who burglarized the brothel owned by Maggie May, a mysterious woman with a keen mind and a treasure trove of secrets.

During this time, Poppy also faces great losses and the promise of a new life—if she can bring herself to give up her quest to capture Sherlock's intransigent heart.

Before Watson

Interesting story about Sherlock before Watson and his relationship with Dr. Poppy Stamford. The story is mostly about Poppy and her challenges of being one of the first female doctors, as well as trying to decide about what kind of relationship to have with Sherlock. Interesting introduction of Watson at the end.

Strange Histories

Doctor Poppy Stamford and Sherlock Homes have a rather informal relationship. Meeting a high class madam, they find out quite a bit of information concerning spies, codes, and criminal organizations in England and attempt to gather stolen items.
