Publisher's summary

The shape of ancient evil

A series of grisly murders rocks London. At each location, only a jumble of bones remains of the deceased, along with a bizarre sphere covered in strange symbols. The son of the latest victim seeks the help of Sherlock Holmes and his former partner, Dr. John Watson. 

They discover the common thread tying together the murders. Bizarre geometries, based on ancient schematics, enable otherworldly creatures to enter our dimension, seeking to wreak havoc and destruction. 

The persons responsible are gaining so much power that even Holmes’ greatest enemy fears them - to the point that he seeks an unholy alliance.

Neat to see Holmes & Watson facing a familiar evil

The writing was done in a neat perspective, if the audience is familiar with the Lovecraft Mythos, it is fun to watch the world’s greatest detective struggle comprehending forces he does not understand, but the reader sort if does.

I gave to also give props to the author - to get her research on both properties so well. Holmes felt like Holmes. And the Dagonian lines were spot on…I think I even heard the narrator say “Toa-Toa” at one point in the runes readings. Hey, its a fun story. Can’t wait to dive into Book 2.

Excellent Blending of Genre

Exquisite writing, plot, hooks, and characters. I will be buying the next two books, as well.

Great performance, pace weird

Good performance but story is lacking. Pace is off. Slow at times but then so quick that I had to RE listen chapter’s at other times. Story would have benefited from a good editor.

More graphic and violent than either Lovecraft or Sherlock Holmes.

I would say this probably is not for younger readers. The Cthulhu casebooks by James Lovegrove are probably better suited to a younger audience. This story kind of rambles back-and-forth and is peppered with extremely graphic and violent imagery that seems placed just for its own sake.

Hard to follow at times…

This story could’ve been much shorter and still told the same story. I got extremely tired of listening to the rhetoric of the foreign language so much so I was fast forwarding to get past listening to it!! It wasn’t really worth the credit I used to buy this book!

Incoherent

Good performance of the equivalent of a 50's b-movie. Character reactions and behavior not believable or rational to situations that are over the top crazy. Descriptions of gore quite indulgent. Not a very good book.
