Story
Every day without fail, Travis Devine puts on a cheap suit, grabs his faux-leather briefcase, and boards the 6:20 commuter train to Manhattan, where he works as an entry-level analyst at the city’s most prestigious investment firm. In the mornings, he gazes out the train window at the lavish homes of the uberwealthy, dreaming about joining their ranks. In the evenings, he listens to the fiscal news on his phone, already preparing for the next grueling day in the cutthroat realm of finance. Then one morning Devine’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous email: She is dead.

Hard to get into but it’s so far very good once I got into it - had to listen to a few chapters more than once because I kept spacing out.

Boring
Reviewed: 01-23-24
In all fairness, I didn’t finish, I could not get into the writing and the characters. It was too shallow and surface and not worth listening to. I googled the plot after I decided to call it quits and I’m glad I didn’t finish the story. I know the characters mentioned their age in the beginning but I was unaware that they were elderly residents in a retirement community. The characters were missing a sense of depth that I like. The narrator is good- she narrated magpie murders which I loved.

Story
Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective in literary history. For the first time since the death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a new Holmes story has been sanctioned by his estate, whetting the appetites of fans everywhere. Information about the book will be revealed as deliberately as Holmes himself would unravel a knotty case, but bestselling novelist and Holmes expert Anthony Horowitz is sure to bring a compelling, atmospheric story to life.

Outdated book, but fun storyline
Reviewed: 03-23-23
My son had to read this for school so I decided to listen to alongside. I had to remind myself that in the 1970’s people were less mindful of their biases. Raskin has moments where her writing is culturally insensitive. This is my gripe with the book.
This story itself began slow and got better as it neared the end when it focused purely on solving the puzzle. It is a little wacky but overall in retrospect, I did enjoy the story.
