Story
It’s the autumn of 1890, and a spate of bombings has hit London. The newspapers are full of fevered speculation about anarchists, antimonarchists and Fenians. But one man suspects an even more sinister hand behind the violence. Sherlock Holmes believes Professor Moriarty is orchestrating a nationwide campaign of terror, but to what end? At the same time, a bizarrely garbed figure has been spotted on the rooftops and in the grimy back alleys of the capital.

But, besides regular adventures, there are quite a few questions - Where was Holmes during the Great Hiatus?

The world was not prepared for this story, a conspiracy hatched in the highest levels of the British government. A rogue Minister of Defense plans to turn soldiers into blood-thirsty animals—and Holmes and Watson may be among their first victims. The adventure starts when Holmes is warned away from investigating Jack the Ripper’s heinous crimes. Despite Holmes’ well-known skills, he is sidelined. He must content himself with a straightforward case, finding a bolting beau, the result of a simple lovers’ quarrel. But that “romance gone wrong” is really the key to a nasty secret.

There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood.

Story
For all we know, or think we know, about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, what we don’t know is far, far greater. In the duo’s first case, A Study in Scarlet, we learn that Holmes and Watson met on January 1st, 1881, and subsequently moved into an apartment together at 221b Baker Street. Their first case officially began on March 4th of that year, and it is argued that “The Adventure of the Resident Patient” possibly took place in October of 1881, depending on which version of the story you read. But what happened during the rest of 1881? Or all of 1882?

Publisher's summary
London. A snowy December, 1888. Sherlock Holmes, 34, is languishing and back on cocaine after a disastrous Ripper investigation. Watson can neither comfort nor rouse his friend – until a strangely encoded letter arrives from Paris.
Mlle La Victoire, a beautiful French cabaret star writes that her illegitimate son by an English lord has disappeared, and she has been attacked in the streets of Montmartre.
Racing to Paris with Watson at his side, Holmes discovers the missing child is only the tip of the iceberg of a much larger problem. The most valuable statue since the Winged Victory has been violently stolen in Marseilles, and several children from a silk mill in Lancashire have been found murdered. The clues in all three cases point to a single, untouchable man.
Will Holmes recover in time to find the missing boy and stop a rising tide of murders? To do so he must stay one step ahead of a dangerous French rival and the threatening interference of his own brother, Mycroft.
This latest adventure, in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, sends the iconic duo from London to Paris and the icy wilds of Lancashire in a case which tests Watson's friendship and the fragility and gifts of Sherlock Holmes' own artistic nature to the limits.
Critic reviews
“A pacy and twisting story – made me forget I wasn’t reading a Sir Arthur original.”—The Sun
"In a world with more than its share of Sherlock Holmes pastiches, it is rare for one to soar above the rest, but Bonnie MacBird's Art in the Blood achieves this singular feat and deserves a tip of the deerstalker." –-Otto Penzler, editor, “The Big Book of Sherlock Holmes Stories"
“Dark, stylish, ingeniously plotted. Gripping, enthralling read. Holmes & Watson live!” –-Hugh Fraser
“A thoroughly entertaining Sherlock Holmes adventure worthy of Doyle himself. … vivid period detail, a superb, labyrinthine plot, snappy pacing and, most importantly, a deep respect for the classic characters.” –-Bryan Cogman, Producer/Writer, HBO's Game of Thrones
"Bonnie MacBird's ART IN THE BLOOD has the three key ingredients for a delicious pastiche: Meticulous research, plausibility, and grand fun!" –-Leslie S. Klinger, editor, “The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes”

In early 2022, Terry’s son, Niel Golledge, reached out to Sherlockian editor David Marcum, who was electrified to read such wonderful previously lost tales about the heroes of Baker Street.

Story
It’s the autumn of 1890, and a spate of bombings has hit London. The newspapers are full of fevered speculation about anarchists, antimonarchists and Fenians. But one man suspects an even more sinister hand behind the violence. Sherlock Holmes believes Professor Moriarty is orchestrating a nationwide campaign of terror, but to what end? At the same time, a bizarrely garbed figure has been spotted on the rooftops and in the grimy back alleys of the capital.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases.

Exciting, thrilling and fast paced
Another hit out the ball park! London, a snowy December in 1888. A disastrous Ripper investigation has left 35-year-old Sherlock Holmes in a deep depression and back on cocaine. Watson receives a message of a fire at 221B and races to see about his friend. Nothing that Waston does seem to help. Sherlocks receives a request from Cherie La Victorie, an accomplish singer, to help find her son. Off Sherlock goes. He has a mission, which ignites his synapsis and curiosity.
While helping Cherie La Victorie, Mycroft tags on a job that he needs, which has a tenuous connection to finding Cherie La Victorie’s son. The unscrupulous French detective Jean Vidocq makes another appearance. The competition between the two detectives is heightened because of Vidocq’s intimate relationship with Cherie La Victorie. Through twist and turns we are lead on an exciting Sherlockian adventure. This story has many of the ingredients, child abuse, distressed female, duty to country, saving lives, obsessiveness with solving puzzles and his word, propels Sherlock’s recklessness he exhibits toward his own life.
Sherlock is constrained from obtaining information and must depend on others. Holmes’ ability to see patterns where other people can’t see and make these intuitive leaps of thought clearly is hampered by the physically handicap of being confined to a wheel chair. Lives are needlessly lost because of his immobility, and Sherlocks becomes reckless. This is a fast-paced tale of kidnap, murder and art theft.
Waiting for another Bonnie MacBird story.

ok, I'll go for Bonnie's Sherlock!
Many Sherlock clones are not Sherlock, this one was faithful to his personality. The narrator was good, but maybe a little more differentials between some voices. The story was
a good plot!

Brilliant addition
This was a phenomenal novel with twists and turns throughout. The narration was spot on, unique voices for each character that don’t sound goofy. I’m excited to read/listen to the rest of Ms. Macbird’s Sherlock Holmes novels!

Great story. Great series. Decaf for the Narrator?
Was lucky to discover this series during an Audible sale where I acquired the first four releases and pre-ordered the fifth. Hoping the series continues as there are always Credits to use! Have listened to three of the five releases to date, and while the mysteries have a 21st century slant, it is no different than films of Holmes and Watson in WWII - stories written with a different perspective yet keeping to the framework of the original material. Only downside is the accelerated style of narration seems out of place since I am more familiar with the voices of Christopher Lee, Basil Rathbone, and Jeremy Brett. Perhaps Decaf should be the only option available at the recording studio? However it is possible to adjust the Player Speed, so I dialed it down to 75% and all is well.

Interesting, but not in the class of Conan Doyle
If you are looking for a Sherlock pastiche that measures up to Conan Doyle, this is not it. It is a light listen, one appropriate as background if you are doing an activity. It lacks the complexity of a Conan Doyle story. The narration of the book is quite good.

Holmes has done it again with the faith and friendship of his good friend Watson. and intriguing story read interestingly. their adventures make me wish to live amongst them in that time. only to return to reality knowing that the internet and toilets were not available.
