The Clown on the High Wire

A Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery

By: Anna Elliott, Charles Veley

Clues, Chaos, and Catastrophe Under the Big Top!

London, 1899: The circus is in town, but danger is in the spotlight. When a clown is found dangling lifeless from the high wire at the Olympia Amphitheater, Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James are called in to investigate. With rivalries, roaring egos, and deadly secrets lurking behind the curtain, the Baker Street team must act fast to stop the next act from ending in tragedy.

To infiltrate the tight-knit world of acrobats, fire-eaters, and animal tamers, Lucy and Jack go undercover as magicians, with the ever-curious Becky as their pint-sized assistant. But the deeper they dig, the more twisted the mystery becomes—suspects juggle alibis, secrets tangle like trapeze ropes, and an old adversary reappears, turning the case into a deadly balancing act.

As the final curtain looms, can Sherlock and Lucy uncover the truth in time, or will the circus’s next performance be their last?

Great story but bad narration

I love the story but hate the virtual narrator. It has no accents or change of voice for different characters. Why cant the original narrators continue, they did terrific voices.

Good story but virtual voice

The virtual voice is better than others but still not as good as a real person.

Loathe computer generated narration

The story line and characters are probably as good as the other stories in this series, but the computer generated narration was so awful I could stand to listen for more than a few minutes.

AI ruins the story

I do not like listening to AI ruin a story. It does not emphasize the right words, inflections are off, and the subtleties of the human voice are sorely missed. Please stop using AI!! Actors bring the stories to life!
