Resumen del Editor

Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective in literary history. For the first time since the death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a new Holmes story has been sanctioned by his estate, whetting the appetites of fans everywhere. Information about the book will be revealed as deliberately as Holmes himself would unravel a knotty case, but best-selling novelist and Holmes expert Anthony Horowitz is sure to bring a compelling, atmospheric story to life. With access to the estate's archives and careful study of the original stories, Horowitz is sure to weave a tale that satisfies new fans as well as the most dedicated Baker Street Irregular.

Worthy and entertaining story.

I took to 'House of Silk' with great eagerness. Horowitz is a good writer and he captures the essence of Holmes and Watson quite well.
The performance is top notch and makes up for some of the story's mild shortcomings.

While I felt guided through a series of events through London in the late 19th century, I felt the story offered little chance for the reader/listener to deduce anything on their own. What clues that Horowitz does leave are obvious and offer no red herrings.

We're left with the last minute revelations of wires to Dublin, Belfast and Boston to have Holmes magically come to the conclusion giving the listener no opportunity to work it out them selves.

That said, I did enjoy this story and do recommend it to those who enjoy Holmes.

Great story, wonderful writing.

Would you listen to The House of Silk again? Why?

Well, I seldom listen to audiobooks twice no matter how good they are - too many I haven't heard!

Any additional comments?

I always know an audiobok is great when I can't wait to get back to it. this was one of those. I also vividly saw the places and characters. Loved it!

If you're a Sherlock Holmes fan, I think this will more than measure up.

Fabulous Story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would! The story line keeps you from the beginning to the end of the book. It keeps you wondering what is going to happen next, and how are they going to proceed with the invesigation. And not only that, the twists that are in this audio book, keeps you in awh.

What other book might you compare The House of Silk to and why?

Haven't come across that yet.

Have you listened to any of Derek Jacobi’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I am not sure. But he is good, very good.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

OMG! When my husband and I heard what the House of Silk was, and who was involved. That was powerful.

Any additional comments?

My husband and I were speechless! Just fabulous!

Could've been written by Doyle himself very good

Finished the second half of the book in one night. Sherlock Season 4 promises a "dark" place episode. This story could be it.

The game is afoot!

As a huge fan of Doyle and SH, I'm always a little warty about a new Holmes story and read alot of them. This was up there as of the best I've read / listened to. Consumed most of this via the audio book and very very much enjoyed the narrator. Recommend both!!

Well done!

Fascinating story, and Horowitz has perfectly captured the style of the original Conan Doyle tales. Highly recommended!

Doyle-esk

Horowitz is as close to Conan Doyle as any writer that I have read since Doyle stopped the homes series. The Doyle like cadence was accentuated by the delivery of the narrator. I cannot wait to read the next Horowitz book "Moriarty"

Sir Arthur would be proud

What did you love best about The House of Silk?

Loved the way Horowitz weaved in references to original Holmes stories.

What about Derek Jacobi’s performance did you like?

Sir Derek was suburb. Never seems to

Sherlock at his best

As a fan of Sherlock Holmes mysteries--whether written by Arthur Conan Doyle or not--I found this to be a great addition to the collection. Well done.
