Moriarty as Scrooge

An interesting take on Dicken's Christmas Carol, with Moriarty in the role of Scrooge! Nice performance and fun story.

A Christmas Carol / Moriarty Mash-Up

BRAVO! A brilliant premise meets spot-on writing and a terrific performance by the reader. And MX Publishing and Don’t Go into the Cellar will be performing an online adaptation. If it’s as good as the audiobook, you won’t want to miss it. Highest recommendation!

past, present, future saving Moriarty?

Of course not! They do their jobs as best they can but a man like Moriarty doesn't need saving, he's perfectly content as he is, it others who interfere that bother him. But it's Christmas, the season of perpetual hope, and of meloncoley, so Moriarty is more contemplative about his next actions with regards to his plans and his empire.

I really enjoyed this book, it had the feel of a classic Sherlock Holmes story, but from the point of view of the villain of the series. The characters were well presented, Moriarty's intelligence, the fear he can strike in others (even ghosts are unnerved by him) but it also gives him a very human side, he cares about the few he thinks of as friends as shown in his genuine appreciation of the generals acceptance to dine with him at Christmas.
