Summary
It's a "three-pipe problem"!
Holmes and Watson are in for another rousing adventure in classic Holmesian style. They are joined by their erstwhile friend, Inspector Lestrade, and aided by the Baker Street Irregulars; Holmes' brother, Mycroft; and Mrs. Hudson, who is always there with a hot cup of tea.
Holmes and Watson are also joined by some new friends, including English royalty, the Fenians, an Indian illusionist, and the beautiful Susan Spaulding, whom Watson finds devastatingly alluring.
The game is afoot!
The riveting storytelling will keep the listener enthralled until the climactic, twist ending.

A great example of this genre
It isn't easy to write a Sherlock Holmes story Sir Auther Conan Doyle was the creator and master of the Holmes genre.
Never the less listening to this book it is easy to forget it's not by the master.
The authors have written a fantastic book which I believe easilypasses muster for Holmes fans.
Narration is excellent and sets just the right tone and feel especially to Dr Watson.
I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and voluntarily leave this review.
Highly recommended

Midgets are people, too, my friend.
Written in a style similar to that of Conan Doyle, A Study in Illusions of Terror continues the Dr.Watson's accounting of another of his adventures with Sherlock Holmes, this one involving the kidnapping of the Prince of Wales. It has many of the hallmarks of the original books and features some of the well known faces including Mycroft and Lestrade, a bizarre tale and, of course, Holmes in all of his enigmatic disguises and deceptions.
The tale is told in three parts. The first sets the scene (the three pipe problem), the second sees Watson struggling to solve the case alone, and part three is the resolution. Although filled with exciting revelation and action, after the initial section the book loses it's earlier sparkle with the middle section actually becoming rather predictable and mawdlin.
The narrator, Christopher Walsh, however, maintains the essence of the Sherlock feel, his nicely clipped English accent hinting at the time period, and he reads clearly, with understanding, giving each character their own voice. He enhances the story as written.
Asda lifelong fan of the great detective, I have mostly avoided any attempts to recreate him. However, I was pleased to receive a freely given complimentary copy of Study in Illusions of Terror from the rights holder after I requested it via Audiobook Boom. My thanks for that. Overall, this was a good attempt to replicate the master story teller but overly long and could have benefitted from some reduction in the second and third sections. Worth a read, though. It's fun.
