Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula

The Classified Dossier

By: Christian Klaver

Narrated by: Andrew Fallaize

In this thrilling supernatural mystery, Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula must join forces to banish a terrible enemy.

Sherlock Holmes is dead. His body lies in a solitary grave on the Sussex Downs, England. But Dr. Watson survives and is now given permission to release tales in Sherlock’s “classified dossier”, those cases that are, dear listener, unbelievable - for their subject matter is of the most outré and grotesque nature.

In this thrilling first installment of The Classified Dossier, a Transylvanian nobleman called Count Dracula arrives at Baker Street seeking the help of Sherlock Holmes, for his beloved wife, Mina, has been kidnapped.

But Dracula is a client like no other, and Holmes and Watson must confront - despite the wild, unbelievable notion - the existence of vampires. And before long, Holmes, Watson, and their new vampire allies must work together to banish a powerful enemy growing in the shadows.

A great take on Dracula and Sherlock Holmes

As a fan of Stoker's Dracula this was a great way to tell Dracula's story. And, as someone who has read Doyle's Sherlock mysteries, this felt like an honest interpretation of Sherlock and Watson far more than the BBC's Sherlock. Sherlock isn't the rude unsociable loner genius from BBC's Sherlock. I also love how we have a guest appearance from another author's world. To say that I wasn't expecting that inclusion is an uderstatement but it didn't feel out of place either.

I'd recommend this for fans of the original source materials and people who want something to listen to on a dark and stormy night or anyone waiting for Autumn to show up already.

Just go with it… Fun!!!

If you’re a fan of Sherlock & Watson and love Dracula you’ll have fun with this book. Just go with it and enjoy. The narrator did a good job.. Holmes is a bit different but Watson and Dracula are perfect.

Great mash-up!!!

I had been interested in this title for some time and I very much enjoyed listening through it. I like how the author weaves elements of characters from both literary worlds into a singular narrative. I’m eager to read more in this series provided there are more books.

Chilling and Terrifyingly Perfect

What a read! I enjoyed this one and the tying of a case between Count Dracula and Sherlock Holmes.

With Dr. Watson and his wife, Mary, becoming vampires, there is a twist to this book, and I am interested to see if anything continues in future reads. But as this book continues, Mary goes into a darker mode, whereas Dr. Watson can continue much as before, with a few modifications to his daily diet.

There are some twists in this book that I do not feel I can share without giving away a spoiler, but this is worth a read! If you are a fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula, you will enjoy this deliciously chilling read!

Very Entertaining

The idea of putting two of the best known literary characters in history is either brilliant or absurd. This book falls into the really cleverly done aspect with just the slightest hint of silliness. Once you get past the premise idea, you're in for an exciting read. I thoroughly enjoyed this books. Kudos to the author. Well done I say!
