The Lost Husband

A Weird Sherlock Holmes Adventure

By: William Meikle

Narrated by: Rupert Ap Gruffydd

The case of a lost husband leads Holmes and Watson into the bowels of the new Underground system, where they uncover a fiendish scheme – the recently deceased are being forced to work as unpaid labor in the tunnels. And soon the walking dead come up into the city itself, spreading mayhem and disease.

Holmes must find the perpetrator of these atrocities, and stop him, before the plague engulfs London.

Fun, fast Holmes pastiche

This is a fun and fast-paced "weird" Sherlock Holmes adventure by a great writer of both Holmesian pastiche and horror. Meikle captures both Watson's narrator's voice and Holmes's personality perfectly. While Holmes is well known in the original Canon for the dictate "no ghosts need apply," there have been a plethora of stories by more recent authors that break that rule with varying results. This is among the best, as the supernatural aspect is slowly revealed and doesn't overshadow Holmes's deduction ability.

Rupert ap Gruffydd is delightful as Watson, and makes the voices of Holmes, Lestrade, Mycroft, and others distinct and clear. He also does a great job varying the pace of the story and volume of his voice as fits each scene.

Highly recommended.
