Summary
Raymond Bannister is a wealthy man living a secure life, but the day that he receives a single slipper in an envelope his world falls apart. He seeks out a place in the bad part of town - is he looking for his own demise? He is found slashed down in a dirty alleyway. The crime and the crime scene are inexplicable to Lestrade, and he seeks the help of his new consultant detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. This beginning will lead us back in time, to India, and it will lead us to the strange origin of a group of children that call themselves the Irregulars. Is the answer to this case also the answer to the big question - who is Sherlock Holmes? Meanwhile the emotions between Missy Hudson and John Watson are stirring, as a certain Mary Morstan seeks the help of Sherlock. A mysterious and cruel new player has entered the London underworld, his signature is just the letter M.

Follow the second instalment of the Becoming Sherlock series.

Great book! I like this one even more than ‘The Red Circle’. The first book I found a bit confusing with the all the unexplained scenario of London in the near future. After finishing the first book and gotten familiar with the characters and the ‘background’,I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Can’t wait for the next book in the series! I do hope Tim Burton would make a TV series or movies on this series, would be amazing!

Great book.

This sequel could stand alone, but I'm so thankful it doesn't. the series is spectacular.

Profile Avatar Greenbird1571 Mar 2026

The subject matter of the book is difficult but the writing is superb, character development sophisticated, and the world projection eerily prophetic if humanity doesn’t get it together. Please continue to write dear author and continue to read dear narrator! Stunning!

Hard to fallow at first, but ended well.

Slow start. Interesting storyline develops later. Could have ended without setup.

after the red circle had to get this one in and yet again I was glued to listening to it.

Excellent read and a great reimagining of the classic Holmes and Watson saga.

Profile Avatar Nettyham Sep 2025

Great story with lots of twist and turns. Characters really come to life as you listen. The narrator is brilliant. Can’t wait to start the next book. If you love Sherlock Holmes I highly recommend reading this book.

Great book. interesting mystery and character development. well read.

Profile Avatar Gregory A. Aug 2025

If ever longing to a member of the Baker Street Irregulars and a fan of Conan Doyle, the two books (so far) done as anachronistic prequels are a blast. Well written and well read . Enjoy

Fascinating storry.

Profile Avatar Joanne G. Apr 2025

I really enjoyed this book, the plot kept me interested throughout and I pretty much binge listened to it. I love Sherlock Holmes and this is a brilliant twist introducing Sherlock and Dr Watson in the 21st Century. The narrator is also excellent. Highly recommended.

Great book and very well narrated.

Profile Avatar Robert Hughes Dec 2024

maybe it's just me but I've tried 5 times by restarting the book from the beginning to get into the book and cannot, for me a total waste of my credits

Profile Avatar Gary Baldwin Nov 2024

Amazing amazing amazing

Profile Avatar Winn Nov 2024

The first and second book are very good! The narrator does a great job. I’ll be getting book three and look forward to it.

Profile Avatar Judi Jeanotte Nov 2024

Another great book on that indelible character Sherlock Holmes. I can't wait for the next one!

Profile Avatar Dan B. Nov 2024

Very well written, totally captivating I will listen to it again soon. My hat is off to the narrator as well!!

Profile Avatar Simon O. Nov 2024

No sense of period or place. I was baffled. The two immortal main characters are already clearly defined and established, yet this writer somehow renders them unrecognisable - they become amorphous and dull. Quite an achievement - starting with a brilliantly conceived character, ready-made and familiar to anyone who’s ever read a detective novel (and a few million who haven’t) and inexplicably placing him in a vaguely ‘contemporary’ setting. I want to ask the author a simple question: what were you trying to do? Whatever it was, you made a horrible mess of it. It makes no sense. It doesn’t work because it’s utterly pointless. A complete failure of a novel.
