A fun, quick mystery

A solid, quick Sherlockian mystery surrounding murder and an art gallery. At just over 2 hrs, the story moves quickly and that is one of its strengths. In addition, the story adds support from some of Sherlock’s Irregulars … those street urchins that have become the eyes and ears of the Great Detective in the seedy underbelly of society. The narration was fantastic, with good range of voice and dialect to separate the characters.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
