The Game Is Afoot

A Shadow Holmes and Watson Mystery

De: David Raymond

Narrado por: Callum Hale

Forbidden from pursuing her calling, Shadow Holmes, the great-granddaughter of Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock’s older—and smarter—brother, works for her father selling real estate in Miami. To compound matters, Shadow has no idea her father is the director of The Bee, a clandestine British spy agency, until she and her parents are poisoned by the bewitching—and decidedly evil— Professor Jane Moriarty.

Enter Watson, our charming canine raconteur with a Holmesian mystery of his own, Tuesday Hudson, Sherlock’s stoned granddaughter, and Inspector Archie Lestrade of Scotland Yard, propelling Shadow into the detective life of her ancestors.

Can Shadow solve the trail of murders taking place in the homes her father listed for sale before Moriarty destroys the world in favor of an evil one of her own creation?

Think Sherlock Holmes meets Austin Powers with a splash of Miami Vice and a dash of Monty Python.

Bestselling author David Raymond sets his books in Florida, a state presenting infinite possibilities for fiction writers to not have to make stuff up.

Fun Spin on a Classic

Audio books are a delightful addition to my routine, allowing me to immerse myself in a story while I navigate my workday, often without distractions. I found this particular book captivating, with the narration perfectly capturing my attention from the start. This interpretation of Sherlock Holmes is packed with unexpected twists and turns, keeping me both entertained and eager to discover what unfolds next.

great story line

good story line. with great character depth and development this story keeps you guessing and will keep you invested until the very end.

Narrator is superb!

Not your typical Sherlock Holmes book. This one follows decedents of Holmes solving mysteries. Shadow Holmes is the great granddaughter of Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock’s brother. Tuesday Hudson is Shadow’s cousin. Moriarty still has family…. seeking revenge. The narrator of this audiobook has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard. If he’s not a native of the UK, kiddos, because he was great. This is not a book for one under 16-17, because of the disclaimers above. Oh… and Watson, isn’t a person. If you want to know “what” he is, read or listen to this book. Enjoy!
