The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Cat: Volume 1

De: Patricia Srigley

Narrado por: James Meunier

A HUMOROUS AND HEARTWARMING COZY MYSTERY.

When Sherlock Holmes crosses paths with a small black cat, he rescues it from a vicious attack. He takes it home, because 221B Baker Street has become a sad and lonely place of late. John Watson recently abandoned him for some buxom cleavage, rouged lips and bouncy ringlets. In other words, a wife, of all things.

The great detective has no clue how clever the scrappy little tomcat will prove to be. But can a cat no larger than a squirrel, replace John, his former companion and partner-in-crime-solving? Or will Cat Watson be a curse rather than a blessing? A mouse in Sherlock’s underpants would suggest the former.

Time will tell, as the pair get to know each other. Together, they investigate a mixed bag of mysteries. Mary Watson’s missing bicycle is no true case, but a possible attempt to reunite two estranged friends. The mystery of the Baker Street Blackmailer is another matter entirely. Sherlock faces a remarkably cunning foe, crafty enough to outwit even him. To survive the villain’s deadly schemes, Sherlock will need both his Watsons by his side, if they will deign to work together on his behalf.

It was very creative and fun to hear the car’s point of view

I didn’t like that John Watson was clueless I think as a doctor he should be more informed.

I want more of Sherlock Holmes' Cat!!!

The book was very entertaining and a different look at the old standby, Sherlock. More please.

pleasant

The performance was excellent and the story was quite fun. It was a very pleasant listen.

A cozy mystery story

A nice cozy mystery from the perspectives of Sherlock Holmes and his cat. James Meunier does a good job selling the performance

Call this “Holmes Adjacent”

I’m a cat person. I’m known for being a cat person. I’ve read a couple of detective series where a cat has featured prominently. I bought this book hoping it would be a happy accident. It’s not.

The author has a pretty conceit about Holmes taking in a very clever stray cat.

My issue isn’t with the cat being hyper-intelligent. It’s that, in order to be clever, the humans, including Holmes, are all idiots! The characters have the right names, but the rest of parcel is lacking.

About the writing style, the author needs to hie herself to a book store and buy a thesaurus. I’ll swear that the word “bottom” was used so often I started rewriting the scenes in my mind, with fundament, rear end, buttocks, butt, posterior, arse, ass, anything but bottom!

And the use of “sweater” instead of jumper was wrong, wrong, wrong! If you’re going to set something in London try to get the language right.

All said, if this had been a free book I’d have been happy with it. But I paid good money for this and I was short-changed.
