The Egyptian Curse

Enoch Hale with Sherlock Holmes, Book 3

By: Dan Andriacco, Kieran McMullen

Narrated by: Michael Langan

London, 1924: When Alfie Barrington is stabbed to death outside his club, suspicion quickly falls on his widow, the lovely Sarah - and on her former beau, Enoch Hale. The American journalist has an alibi, but he doesn't know her name and Scotland Yard can't find her.

Determined to solve this case without the help of his friend Sherlock Holmes, Hale launches and investigation that brings him into contact with Leonard and Virginia Woolf, bohemian writers and publishers; P.G. Wodehouse, creator of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster; Howard Carter, discoverer of King Tuts tomb; and one of the greatest mystery writers of all time.

A second murder sparks journalistic speculation of a curse related to Alfie's time in Egypt as a competitor of Carter and his patron, Lord Carnarvon. Hale doesn't buy that, but he doesn't come up with a better solution until it is almost too late. And in the end, it is once again Sherlock Holmes who puts it all together.

This exciting historical mystery concludes the Enoch Hale - Sherlock Holmes trilogy that began with The Amateur Executioner and continued with The Poisoned Penman.

Who, What, when?

Enoch Hale through a whirlwind of the famous in the literary set of the post Great War period. The Egyptian craze along with the murders as a curse of a mummy.

Great mystery story

I enjoyed this Enoch Hale book (3rd in series) by Dan Andriacco and Kiernan McMullen. Enoch gets involved in a case that involves an Egyptian mummy’s curse. He interacts with real and fictional characters as well as Sherlock Holmes. These books are wonderfully entertaining. The narration by Michael Langan is outstanding. He brings the characters and story to life.

Good listen

I’ve heard a few Sherlock stories that were not from Sir C. Doyle and this one was good. Had a few misdirections and the narrator was great and made it easy to listen to. Would recomend.
