Another side of Holmes

First: A lot of discussing the pros and cons of folklore, religion and politics. The author seems to have a need to get his beliefs off of his chest.
Some politically incorrect speech and views, but not for the date in which the story takes place. Yet, sometimes words and phrases are from present time.
Second: Holmes has given up cocaine for hashish.
Third: Holmes talks about his sex life!
Last: The basic story is quite good and interesting. Just be prepared for a lot of the characters' (the author's) views peppered between the beginning and end.
The reader was very good. One star off for a "very" few mispronounced words.

intriguing premise

loved the mash up of Sherlock Holmes with Alistair Crowley - it would be difficult to come up with 2 more disparate personalities - story was also quite engaging with a couple of unexpected twists.

Really good

To be honest, I began this book with a bit of trepidation, as I prefer my Holmes with his Watson. And Crowley as Holmes companion? Mmm... not easy to see that working.

And yet, it does. And I really liked it. The story is interesting, as the discussions about paganism, old gods and goddess and the source of fairy tales are. But I think that the main achievment here are the strong characters. All of them are vivid, enticing, interesting.

We see a Holmes a bit more open, one that seems to feel that he is able to discuss about philosophy and express his personal views with more freedom, and that's an intersting thing, too

A wonderful surprise :D

Oh, and Steve White's narration is simply wonderful.

Evil in Plain Sight

A researcher on an island North of Scotland goes missing, and his daughter hires Sherlock Homes to get answers. Doctor Watson is unable to help Sherlock. On the island no one will cooperate with Homes, because the researcher was asking about witchcraft. Lucky for Homes he finds a young man willing to help named: Aleister Crowley.

Awesome

wonderful listen narrator has and excellent voice I enjoyed the book a lot my husband even listen with me and he was very pleased
