Charlie Milverton and Other Sherlock Holmes Stories

By: Charlotte Anne Walters

Narrated by: Steve White

A collection of five present-day Sherlock Holmes stories that poke gentle fun at the idiosyncrasies of modern life - not to mention the eccentric detective and his world-weary friend who are at the heart of the action. Stuck in a dysfunctional marriage and the job from hell, aspiring writer Doctor John H. Watson battles against the angst of a midlife crisis whilst being drawn further into the individual world of his friend - the irascible, difficult but brilliant consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. Each story is based directly on an adventure from the original work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but updated with a modern-day twist. Instead of the foggy cobbled streets and hansom cabs of Victorian London, we get over-paid footballers, pop-stars, a glamour model, the tabloid press and social media. But friendship and Holmes' unique science of deduction remain central to each story.

Different Sherlock...

I was given this audiobook in exchange for a voluntary review.

Different take on Sherlock Holmes. It took me a couple of stories to get used to it . Good up to date stories. Narration is excellent as well.
