The Dark Water

The Strange Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes

In a literary tour de force worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself, author David Pirie brings his rich familiarity with both the Doyle biography and the Sherlock Holmes canon to a mystifying Victorian tale of vengeance and villainy. 

The howling man on the heath, a gothic asylum, the walking dead, the legendary witch of Dunwich - perils lurk in every turn of the page throughout this ingenious novel, as increasingly bizarre encounters challenge the deductive powers of young Doyle and his mentor, the pioneering criminal investigator Dr. Joseph Bell.

Bell and Conan Doyle Scintillate

This is the 3 book in The Strange Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes series and it is just as marvelous as the other offerings. The narrator for this book is Shaun Grindell and he is equally as delightful the previous ones. I strongly recommend this entire series.

Couldn't finish!

I couldn't get past the awful narrator, sadly had to stop listening, hate giving up!
