Well-written, but missed the mark for me

Moriarty being what he is, a dark reflection of Sherlock himself, I can imagine it's hard to describe Moriarty without seeming like you're just describing Sherlock. That's where this landed for me; It seemed like the stories could have just as well been about Sherlock, with a few slightly devious twists that we know don't suit Sherlock. Not much was done to fill out Moriarty's character, and so I was left with the impression the author didn't know Moriarty very well.

Brief but good

Interesting, clearly narrated mini-mysteries. A nice break from reading heavier stuff. Narrator is particularly good: delightful rhytum, clear enunciation, appropriate pacing, rich tone.

Too short, want more!

This is a great book - in the very best Holmesian style (Professor Moriarty, please forgive me for bringing HIM into it). The plot, language and narration all contributed to an extremely pleasant experience.

The only thing wrong with this book is - it's too short! I hope the author will come out with a sequel, or two or...

Fun little tale for any Sherlock Holmes fan

Interesting take on the Professor and his brilliant, if evil ways. Hope this leads to more tales.

Too Short

I love Andy Weir’s writing style and I really appreciated Graeme Malcolm’s performance here. I felt the stories were a tad underdeveloped given their short style. It seemed the “reveals” were longer than the stories. While enjoyable, I might’ve appreciated a little more tension, trying to figure it out myself a bit more. Still very fun and enjoyable given the 1+ hour runtime.

Not to bad

Performance was great, it’s 2 different stories, 1st is better than the second, would recommend though.
