Who is Sherlock Holmes?

We are 40 years into the future, and London is a city in decay. John Watson has returned from medical service in the war in Afghanistan and lives by himself in a run-down part of ​town. On his way home from work, he stumbles upon a beaten man in the street – unconscious and completely naked. His chances of survival are minimal.

The same evening, a passenger plane crashes in Richmond Park. There are several hundred victims, and Watson and the mysterious man are left to their own devices.

When the man wakes up the following day, he has no memory of who he is or where he came from but reveals excellent detection skills. This is the start of a mystery that unravels rapidly with one burning question at its core.

Can he solve the mystery of himself?

The Red Circle, the first instalment in the upcoming trilogy Becoming Sherlock by international bestseller Anthony Horowitz (known for Midsomer murders, Foyle's war, Alex Rider, and Hawthorne) and Sarah J. Naughton. Story development by Søren Vestergaard.

The story and narration were excellent. It's as though Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman did another standalone Sherlock film, except it was audio. The narrator even makes his Sherlock character sound like Cumberbatch. I wasn't expecting a dystopian story, which is a genre I usually avoid (it's too close to home), but it was an interesting and fresh way to reintroduce well known characters. Horowitz is a masterful storyteller, so it's no surprise that this was such a compelling story. I'll be using my next 3 credits on the sequels.

Fun to spend a few hours with Sherlock again

I’m a big fan of Horowitz but was unfamiliar with Naughton. She did a cracking good job with the story; the writing is excellent and the performance was great. Will be downloading the second part as soon as I click submit on this review!
