Fun to spend a few hours with Sherlock again

The story and narration were excellent. It's as though Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman did another standalone Sherlock film, except it was audio. The narrator even makes his Sherlock character sound like Cumberbatch. I wasn't expecting a dystopian story, which is a genre I usually avoid (it's too close to home), but it was an interesting and fresh way to reintroduce well known characters. Horowitz is a masterful storyteller, so it's no surprise that this was such a compelling story. I'll be using my next 3 credits on the sequels.

clever, well-paced twist on the Holmes story

I’m a big fan of Horowitz but was unfamiliar with Naughton. She did a cracking good job with the story; the writing is excellent and the performance was great. Will be downloading the second part as soon as I click submit on this review!

A new origin story that works quite well by the end.

Familiar characters and beloved personalities, and London ! But with an entirely new origin story that's a bit jarring at brief times. But go with the story, it gets sorted very well.
We are looking forward to the next installment with great anticipation !

Sherlock today!?

A story that only Anthony Horowitz could have pulled off, being Sherlock Holmes into the 21st century. Worth your reading.

such a jumble and start

the crazy mix of story references and establishment of players, place and time was thrilling.

Clever and Compelling

Loved the futuristic setting, as bleak as it was, and the inventive new “origin” stories of familiar characters.

So creative!

I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. I’ve read and listened to the stories dozens of times each some of them, hundreds. As I listened to this story, I really had no idea of what it was in the beginning – I picked it up without reading anything about the book. It excited me so much, I started talking to my kids and wife about it, and they looked lost:-). My favorite part is how The Author is weaving in many new details and large details from the Sherlock Holmes world in new and exciting ways. It is extremely fun, I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

Riveting!

Very interesting and compelling take on one of my favorite characters. Listened non-stop and now I’m mad it’s over.

Fabulous

Great reader great plot, fascinating ideas lots of fun to hear could not stop listening to this one

Familiar loved material cleverly made fresh

I loved every aspect of this brilliant Sherlock redo. I did not see the benefit of it being placed in the future, but all other factors
