“After
a murder takes place, young Lucy disguises herself as Sherlock Holmes, master
detective, to solve the case. When Constance Moriarty, the actress daughter of
Holmes’ nemesis, sets her sights on marrying Dr. Watson, Holmes’ identity could
be revealed. Rosalyn Landor’s resonant British voice sounds believable as both
the masculine and the feminine Holmes. It’s perfect for the story, as told by
the real Holmes in his memoir. Landor’s passionate, willful voice for the
duplicitous Constance also stands out. Bridges’ tweak of the Holmes canon has
no surprises as the revelation of Holmes’ secret comes early. Still, it works
as both an adventure and a commentary on Victorian sexism.”
