The director threw himself into a seat in the front row of the theater before hollering, "Start at the beginning of the play!" That's when the magic happened. The thick, red curtains swept apart, and, suddenly, we were looking at 221B Baker Street! It was just as I'd imagined it: there were two chairs in front of a fireplace, a skull sitting on the mantelpiece next to a stack of letters that had been stabbed into the wood with a knife.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Interesting story either way lots of history
The mystery starts with an ancient historical story that provides the key to the story. Pretty good villain and challenge for Holmes. Good performance.

Excellent story
A blend of history and mystery, Count Drogos, a master criminal, is trying to obtain the “universal antidote” against poisons created by an ancient ruler. Holmes, Watson and Inspector Lestrade work together to keep Count Drogos from getting the formula for the antidote and save his prisoner. The book is woven through with pieces of the original ACD books and this pastiche fits nicely in the canon. The narration is excellent and brings the characters and story to life. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

Not for me
I didn’t like the story. It just didn’t seem like a real Sherlock Holmes adventure. Spent the whole first chapter talking about things that had happened almost 3000 years ago.
