The Case of the Acclaimed Philosopher is a Sherlock Holmes tribute tale that is traced carefully along the classic lines of A.

C. Doyle’s original master stories. Subtly woven into the fabric of the tale is prescience of the treacherous word, “Moriarty," a name that strikes a dissonant chord of sheer evil into the heart of every patron of the art of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. The lost works of Aristotle are at the heart of the case, as the reserved wit and cunning sagacity of Holmes seeks to hoist evildoers on their own petard. Good versus evil is perilously set in motion, and the tale’s action carries the listener nervously to the brink of resolution or ruin — while the reputation of an Empire hangs in the balance.

Excellent

Very engaging Holmes & Watson story. It’s well written and is keeping with the canon. The narration is outstanding.

A good story that could have been better.

This book in the "Discovery" series was well-written but unfulfilling. The concept is an intriguing one, but since so much of the story takes place "offstage," so to speak, that we the reader/ listener, only learn the details much like Watson did, in snippets and accountings shared by Holmes after the fact. The narration by Kevin E. Greene is excellent, as his work always is.

Sherlock assists in uncovering Fraud

Not quite your standard Sherlock mystery as it revolves around the validity of some ancient documents. Still, an interesting story and the narration is well done.

Paperwork

Doctor Watson while giving a year check up for a Professor, who engages Sherlock Holmes to investigate several ancient documents which are for sale, the game is afoot.

Traditional Detective story

The Case of the Acclaimed Philosopher by William P. DeFoe is an excellent Sherlock Holmes crime mystery. Kevin E. Green did a wonderful job with the narration. The story is thrilling, interesting, entertaining, engaging and more. The Case of the Acclaimed Philosopher is the eighth story in The Discoveries of Sherlock Holmes series. Each story is written by a different Sherlockian from all over the world. Each story is unique to the person. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
