Tales of treachery, intrigue and evil...
MAVERICK DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES AND HIS FAITHFUL CHRONICLER DR JOHN WATSON RETURN IN TWELVE THRILLING SHORT STORIES
The iconic duo find themselves swiftly drawn into a series of puzzling and sinister events: an otherworldly stone whose touch inflicts fatal bleeding; a hellish potion unlocks a person s devilish psyche; Holmes's most hated rival detective tells his story; a fiendishly clever, almost undetectable method of revenge; Watson finally has his chance to shine; and many more - including a brand-new Cthulhu Casebooks story.

I'm a massive Sherlock Holmes fan. Who isn't? I've actually listened to all 70+ hours of Sherlock Holmes The Complete Collection on Audible. I must admit I do prefer stories which stay pretty close to the original Conan stories. Until now that is. I thought every story in this collection was pretty awesome. I loved the fact the stories are all quite different and show us Holmes in a varied range of situations such as a HP Lovecraft's Cluthu Mythos. There are usually one or two stories in a collection that don't quite work but every story ticks all of the boxes.
