Publisher's Summary:

An enhanced audiobook with complete music score and extensive sound effects to add to your listening experience.

The interior was dark and neither of us searched for a lamp or switch. There came a ticking of some clock or another. And the sound of a dripping faucet somewhere in the house was like a hammer to an anvil. Our breaths were loud, but my heart sounded louder to me. Interestingly enough, Holmes moved as though he'd been through here before. I had no time to ponder this, as somewhere behind us I heard a door shut and then the click of a lock.

Now as good as so many others.

Sherlock returns!

A must read for Sherlock Holmes fans. The author of this short story has remained true to the original literary Holmes and style of writing, while breathing fresh life into the character with new adventures. A stolen identity and a search for a golden apple.

Beautiful Language

If you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, you'll find what you want here--Sherlock Holmes, Watson, and a mystery that is skillfully unraveled. The process of Sherlock Holmes' reasoning skills is as awe-inspiring as it should be. He presents his evidence and observations, and you are left thinking, as the reader, "Wow, I wish I could think like that!"

But my favorite part of this short story is the language. There were several places where I thought, "Man, I love how that was written." Just the smallest things are enough to make me marvel.

The first sentence starts it off perfectly: "Today seems to me particularly vile in nature with skies as grey, grungy and tattered as the laundry around the lower flats." Later, there are other gems of sentences such as this one: "The time between the discharge of her duty and her disappearance was short enough to pass as magic." Another great line: "The streets were already beginning to buzz with life even as last nightâs dew arose in sheets of steam."

This story really got me to thinking more about language. It's not enough to simply cut to the action as soon as you can--you should breathe life into your stories by respecting the beauty that language can reveal. I adored all the sentences like these which were to be found in the work--wonderfully crafted, yet not extraneous to the work as they very well could have been.

As you read this work, pay attention to the beauty of the language. We do not often receive as many gems in a work as this short story offers.
