It's a flying start to September for Sherlock Holmes audiobooks with several new entrants into the chart - including the top three slots. It looks like its the end of the dominance of The Baker Street Bookshelf which has held the top spot most of the year but with a new collection coming from William P Defeo I wouldn't rule out a return to the top.  The Further Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes Volume III already has 21 reviews (4.1 average rating) and the other two volumes have made a return to the top 10 as the new book shines a...

5/5 stars - Reedsy "The four-story collection provides a cohesion that raises The Incredible Adventures of Sherlock Holmes beyond a simple anthology."     Amanda Knight’s dynamic, four-story collection is one of the most intense reads in the current steady trickle of MX Publishing's Holmes adventures. Knight excavates the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s literary universe and pulls Sherlock Holmes into tales that test the limits of his intellect, his body, and his heart.

"A Brilliant Holmes Adventure Comprised of Two Gripping Mysteries Involving the Velvet Underworld of Victorian England" 4/5 Stars Reedsy A World of Wolves: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery by MX Publishing is a book of two overlapping crime stories connected with the world of the flesh trade, in which Holmes and his associates take on the wily kingpins of the velvet underworld of Victorian England.

During the period when Holmes was...

"An exciting story carrying the true essence of a mystery with Sherlock Holmes." 5/5 Stars Reedsy. "A fun and fabulous book about a period of Doyle’s life that continues to puzzle people today. Highly recommended."  Margaret Walsh "Sherlock Holmes is a character recognised world-wide as an outstandingly rational thinker. His creator, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote many remarkable books and essays which demonstrate his own rational nature, and he applied his logical reasoning to matters that most of us believe to be impossible, such as communication with the dead, which he firmly believed to be not merely possible but demonstrably true....

William DeFeo's dominance of the audio chart continues with another month at the top for The Baker Street Bookshelf but he has some competition in the form of the new collection from the prolific Arthur Hall. Some Remaining Cases of Sherlock Holmes debuts at #2. Ken Courtenay continues to fly the flag for Sherlock Holmes novels with both of his making the top five once again but we predict the new one from Paula Hammond - World of Wolves - will be challenging for August. 1.   The Baker Street Bookshelf – William P Defeo and Michael Langan 2.   Some Remaining Cases of Sherlock...
