Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas

By: Derrick Belanger

Narrated by: Kevin E Green

An Advent Calendar of Twelve All New Sherlock Holmes Adventures Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas is a collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories to be listened to over the holiday season (i.e. from December 1st to December 26th). Each story is divided into two sections. The first day provides the case to the listener. The second day provides the ending. You get to think like Sherlock Holmes and see if you can solve the case before listening to the thrilling conclusion.

Mysteries Include:

The Adventure of the Dreadful Author - Author L.I. Whitmore has gone missing from his London home. Could his latest stories provide clues to his whereabouts?

The Auction of the Prehistoric Beast - The location of a living dinosaur is up for auction. Could the photographic evidence prove that a monster is living in Loch Ness?

The Christmas Ripper - A German family may have been murdered in their Spitalfields home. Could Jack the Ripper be responsible?

The Adventure of the Gentle Axe Murderer - What could make a kind man grab an axe, attack his wife, and become a killer?

The Bordello Endemic - Holmes must act with discretion when the dowager, Mrs. Stanwyck, and fifteen of her high class courtesans are found dead.

With a number of notable clients regularly visiting the bordello, all of London's elite are under suspicion. And many, many more traditional Sherlock Holmes adventures! The book also contains the four part story The Adventure of the Generous Miser as well as a bonus adventure by Derrick Belanger from the pages of The Strand Magazine, Dr. Watson Takes the Case!

Very enjoyable, and I couldn’t stop!

Derrick Belanger’s book is full of new Sherlock Holmes stories all with some Christmas / holiday themes. It was uniquely structured like an advent calendar with a story for each day in December until Christmas. I couldn’t help myself and continued on with several of the stories instead of waiting. A lot of fun and very good stories. The narration by Kevin E Green is outstanding.
