Sherlock Holmes... sorta

This book was slightly better than the first. I had a rougher time finishing it due to audio. I had high hopes for this one. But this just slightly misses the mark for me. Definitely going to continue the series.

Entertaining story

This story is once again centred on the work of Private Investigator John Handful, but this time he is trying to discover if an innocent man has been accused of the murder of an old woman. I enjoyed the story and liked the character of John Handful, but the audio quality and somewhat flat narration interfered with my enjoyment of this audiobook.

Get used to hearing “Oxmarket Daily”

Get used to hearing the name of the paper over and over again.
The narration was ok but it’s hard to picture what I believe is supposed to be a middle aged character with the obviously older voice of the narrator.

Overall story was good.

Good Mystery

A good mystery with a great plot and characters you come across that are interesting. Also has great narration from the narrator whose telling the tale. So if you want to enjoy a good mystery pick up a copy and check it out.

Good story rough audio.

I enjoyed this book, but the audio quality and narration were rough. The narrator was just kind of meh, and the audio levels were all over the place. Chapters would start out super quiet then ramp up throughout.
