Audiobook narrated by Dennis Kleinman.
Set in 1890, this new Sherlock Holmes story travels to Yorkshire when Eve Allerthorpe asks Holmes and Watson to investigate supernatural goings on at her family home near Bridlington where the demonic Black Thurrick has been sighted. Eve will inherit a fortune on her 21st birthday, but only if she’s of sound mind. Her obsession with the Thurrick is threatening that. And then a scullery maid is murdered… Holmes and Watson get a cool reception from Eve’s family but nevertheless manage to sort out not one, but two crimes. The reading is (deliberately) a little stiff – it being mock-Victorian. I stuck with it, but it was not particularly gripping.
