Timely, entertaining beautifully written &read!

Revisado: 01-12-25

This book is as, strangely, emotionally affecting as it is entertaining. It is very entertaining. Mr Robb's performance draws one into the story in a way that only a good story teller/actor can. He serves the story subtly. Unlike other narrators he draws no irritating attention to himself. The publisher's blurb "Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell plunges Holmes into a world that eerily resembles our own, where entangling alliances, treaties, and human frailty threaten to create another cataclysm." Its incredibly well researched . I honestly don't know how Mr.Meyer so deftly weaves historical fiction and the Sherlock Holmes Trope, but it is seamless. Through this and other tales by Mr Meyer I, like Sherlock Holmes toward the end of this story, am inspired to research the patterns in history.

Loved the way Nicholas Meyer imagined and brought to life the literary and theatrical society of the era.

I did not care for the voice the narrator gave Holmes but was interested enough in the story that i continued to listen to the end. In the early chapters the accents were overblown and I found it hard to listen to. It is a testament to Nicholas Meyer’s story telling that i continued on to the end. The narrator settled down by the second half and I was less distracted by the earlier diction.

important helpful discussions marred only by background music which sometimes overpowers the speakers

You know that music that comes up during s heartfelt speach at awards shows? At first its distracting then downright annoying. That has been my experience in listening to a few of these Outside The Box podcasts. I wish the producers trusted the content more and dod not feel so compelled to “produce” the conversations.
