The Peaceful Night Poisonings

Sherlock Holmes' London Through the Eyes of Scotland Yard, Book 2

By: Marcia Wilson

Narrated by: Adam Blanford

Lestrade felt his heart fall through his rib-slats and hit the floor. “Bradstreet, please tell me you did not bring Mr. Holmes in while I was stark staring mad.” “What do you take me for? He came himself. Needed a clip of your hair.” “What in God's Teeth did he want with a clip of my hair?” Lestrade shouted. All things considered, he was proud of himself for not screaming. Without intending it, he reached up to seek out that offending spot in the back. With horrible clarity he now knew the cause of his earlier hair-dressing dilemma.

Lestrade strives to do a good job.

Inspector Lestrade finds a work load that is pilling up faster, than they are solving the crimes. With sleep being something, that with the workload increases, it diminishes and a young lady is putting moves on him. Loved it.

Excellent story and narration

I enjoyed this different perspective of law enforcement, while Holmes and Watson are not in the forefront of the case. The narration is excellent.
