Death Cloud

By: Andrew Lane

Narrated by: Daniel Weyman

It is the summer of 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is fourteen. On break from boarding school, he is staying with eccentric strangers—his uncle and aunt—in their vast house in Hampshire. When two local people die from symptoms that resemble the plague, Holmes begins to investigate what really killed them, helped by his new tutor, an American named Amyus Crowe. So begins Sherlock's true education in detection, as he discovers the dastardly crimes of a brilliantly sinister villain of exquisitely malign intent.

Sherlock's teen adventures, a blast!

It's so much fun to see how Sherlock learned how to read all the clues that are everywhere. This is the story of a teen detective but it's got way more history and adventure that your average Nancy Drew or Hardy Boy mystery. It's from a British author but since JK Rowling is a Brit, I thought I would give it a listen and I'm an Andrew Lane fan now. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Good attempt at a prestory

It was a quick, good read. Sherlock was missing depth and many of his quirks. Story was interesting if unrealistic.

Death Cloud

I was disappointed with this book. I was expecting something else I think. Perhaps getting more into the mind of the young Sherlock to explain why he thought the way he did and detailing his thought processes as he solved his first mystery.

I enjoyed getting to know Sherlock Holmes before he became the adult version that knows everything

What about Daniel Weyman’s performance did you like?

Very good. He kept you interested.

Great story and very well read!

This is my first young Sherlock novel; great story and very well read! I hope for many more in the series?!?
