Mycroft Holmes and the Edinburgh Affair

By: Janina Woods

Narrated by: Tony Cleary

A gruesome display of corpses on the frozen Thames spells doom for Mycroft Holmes. Scotland Yard singles him out as the main suspect of a series of violent crimes because they're all connected by a single thread: Mycroft's name.

As public attention rises, he fights to avert any danger to his family and the Secret Service. To capture the culprit, Mycroft has to face an exceedingly uncomfortable truth about himself, which puts not only his career but his very life into question.

Ok. Not Sherlock. Not a mystery

This is all about Mycroft, who turns out not to be very likable. This is not really a mystery, more a psychological examination of Mycroft.

Strange Adventures

Mycroft Homes a member of the secret service, is made aware of his name appearing on a frozen River Thames near the Tower Bridge made up of dead body parts The game is afoot

IT WAS DIFFERENT. THA'S FOR SURE.

First I really like the narration and the narrator. Second, I like that the story focuses on Mycroft and that Sherlock and Dr. Watson are peripheral players. The regular characters are present like Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson but the real story is about the personal and professional life of the eldest Holmes brother.

A twist

A twist on the character of Mycroft, with explanations of the disparity between Watson’s descriptions in the canon and these adventures. Worth it!

Don’t waist your time on this read

The idea of the book was good, making Mycroft the main character, but after the beginning of the book it went down hill. This narrator voice was almost the same for Mycroft and Sherlock. His deliberate speech was grating so I would not recommend this book.
