The House of Silk

For some reason, I can't seem to get enough Sherlock Holmes. From the original Conan Doyle stories narrated on audiobook by Simon Prebble, to the latest movie version (although that might have something to do with Robert Downey Jr.), the BBC modern adaptation Sherlock, and Laurie King's mystery series featuring Holmes and Mary Russell, I seem to be on a Holmes bender.

Fortunately for Holmes' fans, the Arthur Conan Doyle estate has authorized a new Sherlock Holmes novel. Anthony Horowitz, writer of the popular British television series Foyle’s War, has resurrected Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Dr. John Watson, for what could be their biggest case yet: The House of Silk. What starts out as an investigation of a burglary ends up turning into a much bigger case. Holmes and Watson discover a horrible crime that implicates members of the most esteemed families of England and the government. Horowitz delivers an intriguing mystery with realistic details of the gritty London underworld. The author also remains true to Holmes’ voice and personality, which should please die-hard fans. The audiobook is narrated by Derek Jacobi, who does a wonderful job with the various English accents.

Thanks to Noreen's suggestion, I'm moving on to A Study in Sherlock: Stories Inspired by the Holmes' Canon.
