This program includes a preface read by the author. In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes - and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern 20th-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

Publisher's Summary

London, 1883. 125 Gower Street was once a house of justice, truth, and perspicacity. Now madness, murder, and scandal lurk in its empty halls. It is rumored that its owner - Sidney Grice, London's foremost personal detective - has been driven to the brink of despair. But, as with all good stories, we must begin at the beginning.

When Sidney Grice journeys to Yorkshire to solve a mysterious death, March Middleton, his ward, is left to her own devices in a London swarming with danger and vice. Curiosity, as we know, has a dark edge. So when an intriguing letter leads March to the gates of the palatial Saturn Villa and into the nightmarish world of her long-lost uncle, it could be the beginning of an end for all.

Why the narrator switch?

Lindy Nettleton was a much better fit to narrate the series, but it seems she's no longer available. Ms. Nichols was pretty good doing the voices of the other characters (especially Uncle Tolly), but I didn't connect with her as March.

I didn't mind having the middle section given from Grice's point of view at all, except that he's so very obnoxious I wanted March around to counteract that. Molly was a bit over-the-top in being so dense, though it was fun to see Grice having to put up her. As for the plot, I'm not sure I quite got it entirely? The ending was a bit of a shock, but not totally unbelievable.

Looking forward to the next book, though hoping it's a bit less convoluted.

Too long and totally ridiculous solution

This is a poor Sherlock Holmes ripoff. The “personal “detective is a completely obnoxious terrible person, nothing likable about him at all. His Watson is his female ward, who is likeable and independent, but her character does not compensate for the “ personal” detecive’s negatives. The story is too confusing, too long, and the solution is totally unpredictable and totally ridiculous.

So very Disappointing

I loved all the previous stories but this one was so frustratingly unreasonable that I couldn't even finish. Repeatedly Miss March puts herself in a vulnerable position with characters that any sane person would find suspect. Not just once but three times while her supposed protector has not once figured out why so as to educate her about how her careless trust is only giving people opportunities to frame her for murder. Repeatedly she tries to help same ruthless people after their attempts a murdering Miss March have failed by touching the weapons and getting the blood of the proposed killers on herself and thus setting up the perfect scenario for her to be convicted of said murders. The third time I just couldn't continue listening to see how it all ends up.
