Critic reviews

"Alison Larkin embodies the troubled protagonist in a naïve and haunting performance" (AudioFile Magazine)

"Devotees of Sherlock Holmes may find this complex novella a delight as narrated by Clive Hayward - both narrators are skilled and precise." (AudioFile Magazine)

Clive Hayward's narration is perfection.

I love Sherlock Holmes and I've been a big fan of Clive Hayward's narration ever since I heard his extraordinary narration of Frankenstein so I was thrilled to see this audiobook come to Audible. I did not know the story but was quickly riveted. The characterizations are perfect - especially his Sherlock Holmes! You really feel as if you are in London with the characters and it was such an exciting story! I also really loved the additional story at the end. In a word, captivating.
