The police suspect the landlady of murder, but Mrs. Hudson insists that her friend is innocent. Upon investigating, the companions discover that the lodger, a civil servant recently returned from India, was living in almost complete seclusion, and that his last act was to scrawl a mysterious message on a scrap of paper.

Interesting and interesting engaging mashup

Bringing together Holmes in Quartermaine was a inspired choice. The narrative moves quickly and the characters are engaging.

Great story

As usual, I like Lovegrove’s Holmes, but kudos must be given to Kleinsman here for pronouncing those clicks!

Well done!

Always fun books to listen to. The reader does a great job with all the different characters

Lovegrove captures Holmes again.

If you enjoy Mashup stories and mystery this is one for you. Holmes and Watson meet with Allan Quatermain. Excitement and struggles are throughout the book and in the end Holmes solves the case.

BRILLIANT!

James Lovegrove & Dennis Kleinman have done it again!
This story has more harrowing and mysterious twists and turns the the great Amazon River.
Highly recommended!
Thank you.

Another perfect story

the narrator and author work wonderfully together. so much so that I own all of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

Excellent story line and narration

I really enjoyed this story. I found it to be believable and able to fit within the overall Holmes universe.

Fun adventure

Fun adventure with Holmes and Quatermain
Reader does an excellent job
Nice crossover for fans of both

Wonderful adaptation of the original works👏

Man i cant express how surprised and ecstatic i was once i got into this story. Lovegrove brought to life everything i loved about the original works of ACD's Sherlock and even made the overall book a bit more comprehensive than the original storys. Possibly just because the format is a bit different, it being full novel length instead of short storys. I would never go so far as to say that this work surpasses the originals but i will dare to say they come as close as possible to matching up with them. The dialect and kinda pompous words Watson always likes to use were spot on, the dialog and camaraderie betwixt Holme's and Watson was beautifully done. Even down to the smallest details such as Sherlocks little observations and then explanations were perfect. He also does an amazing job with the background and timeline/explanations of sherlock history and discussing with us (the audience) about when he wrote what and when this took place and everything seemed as real as the original was made to sound. It fit together perfectly with the orginal works... im SO glad i picked this up. Ive sifted through several duds trying to find an author able to recreate even a bit of the magic the orginal works made me feel and this author has DONE IT. Excuse me while i go buy every book in this series rightnow...

Great story and narrative

Great story and narrative. Read well and I enjoyed it as much as the others. Good job.
