Remember, Remember

A Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery

By: Anna Elliott, Charles Veley

Narrated by: Laurence Bouvard, Edward Petherbridge

Narrated by Laurence Bouvard and Edward Petherbridge. A lovely American actress awakens in London on a cold morning in 1897 - lying face down on the concrete pavement outside the British Museum. She has no memories. She does not even know who she is, although she has a vague recollection of the name Sherlock Holmes. What she believes is that she has may have just killed someone, and that someone is definitely trying to kill her. As she searches for clues to her true identity, she will learn that she is not the only target. Unless she can defeat her evil adversaries, the people most dear to her will die.

Anna Elliott & Charles Veley have a great novel!

The authors have written a fantastic novel, full of intrigue and suspense! The narration is superb, bringing the characters to life!

Another good one in this series...

This is book #3 in the Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery series. As with book #2, this installment didn't focus directly on Sherlock. I felt book #2 was more Watson and this one is mainly about Lucy James (Watson is rarely seen). Despite me wanting to have more Sherlock and less of the "extra" characters, I can't deny this was a good listen.

In this book, Lucy James losses her memory in the middle of a case she is working with Sherlock Holmes (hence the title -remember, remember). As the story unfolds, Lucy tries to remember who she is and why she was doing the things she did. I hate giving spoilers, so I will say no more.

As I said, the story was good...but not great. I felt that a lot of the dialogue and some of Lucy's internal dialogue were pointless and immature. I'm not sure if that is how the author intends Lucy to present herself (immature), but that is how I felt at times.

The narration was GREAT! I'm even searching for more books by Laurence Bouvard to see what other great reads she does.

I'm Hooked!

Very well narrated and a plausible plot. Anxious to move on to the 4th novel in the series.

A Bit of a Romance Novel

This was not true to the Conan Doyle style and too centered on Lucy’s emotional character.

A fun listen

~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book.~

I would note I have not read the first two books in this series, which makes this a fitting start to the series, because neither I nor the MC know who she is at the start of the book. It honestly wasn’t a bad introduction to the series. Given that these books are on KU, I’m likely to pick up the first book now.

Sherlock Holmes is a popular character and I believe this book stays true to his character. Lucy is an engaging protagonist and very likable. I enjoyed her as a balance to Sherlock as she is compassionate and showed the zeal of youth in her pursuit of finding the truth. Watson didn’t play a large role in the story, but did get to show his ability to understand human nature and his own investigative prowess a few times.

I feel if you are a fan of crime solving novels and a fan of Holmes you will likely enjoy this book.

Narration was great. I love when books have more than one narrator. It gives a lot of personality to each of the characters. Edward Petherbridge plays an excellent Holmes.
