The Last Sherlock Holmes Story Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This novel sends Sherlock Holmes after Jack the Ripper (who he eventually claims is Professor Moriarty). I thought this was absurd, why would a criminal mastermind and king of organized crime just go out and start butchering hookers? The story gets better when you realize that there is more to Sherlock Holmes than meets the eye. The story takes on a Jekyll/Hyde twist that actually becomes quite suspenseful. Holmes lovers will be offended by this yarn to a degree, but as a suspense story it holds it's own.... "

" More a 3.5 ......It had an interesting take on the whole whitechapel murders, Holmes story, if a tad far fetched, still enjoyable "

" Brilliant. The best of the post-Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes books. "

" On the one hand, the style is a fair imitation of ACDoyle, maybe even better than Doyle in places, though I don't think I will forgive the question "221B or not 221B". The most important character twist is dreadful, however. Spoiler or not, Holmes fans beware. "

" I found this book truly disturbing. "

" Every once in a while, a contemporary author feels the need to confront Sherlock Holmes. Especially if the author works in genre literature. Dibdin, a justly acclaimed mystery writer in his own right does the tradition a classic tribute in this very clever take on the Holmes legend. "

" It's very creative and well-written, but if you love Sherlock Holmes you may find it - as I did - somewhat distressing. "

" It is fun to read other reviews after finishing this book. Controversial. I also thought the story became a bit muddled, yet I liked the new perspective on the Holmes and Moriarty relationship. I prefer the traditional ending as I'm a Sherlock Holmes fan. Glad I read it, however. "

" As a lover of Holmes since early high school, I wish I had read the other reviews here before purchasing and reading this book. Well plotted, well written, and intensely interesting, I hated it. Wish I had never read it. "

" The book that caused an absolute uproar in the Sherlockian community when it was first published. So bizarre yet I still give it 3 stars. Holmes vs. Jack The Ripper but you have to read it to believe it. "

" This was a great take and update on the famous Homes and Watson duo. "

" I liked how it started out with the hunt for Jack the Ripper. When the twist came, I did not like it. "

" I found the beginning part of the book much more interesting, then as I went on... I found myself saying NO, not my Holmes!! It can't be, very twisty though. "

" An interesting take... I kept waiting for it to not be true.... "

" i want raid "

" An amazing idea to combine the most notorious unsolved crimes of Jack the Ripper with the most notorious crime solver, Sherlock Holmes. Made me want to research both more after finishing this book. "

" God, but that was depressing... "

" Absolutely loved it - worthy of and easily mistaken for an Arthur Conan Doyle "

" Not up to the AUrelio Zen books. "

" Read this quite awhile ago but what I remember of it was good. "

" This was a great take and update on the famous Homes and Watson duo. "

" Every once in a while, a contemporary author feels the need to confront Sherlock Holmes. Especially if the author works in genre literature. Dibdin, a justly acclaimed mystery writer in his own right does the tradition a classic tribute in this very clever take on the Holmes legend. "
