    About this audiobook

    A stunning Dr Watson thriller perfect for all fans of Sherlock.

    The year is 1917 and Doctor John Watson is held in a notorious POW camp deep in enemy Germany, there as Medical Officer for the British prisoners.

    With the Allied blockade, food is perilously short in the camp and when a new prisoner is murdered all assume the poor chap was killed for his Red Cross parcel.

    Watson, though, isn't so sure.

    Something isn't quite what it seems and a creeping feeling of unease tells Watson there is more to this than meets the eye. And when an escape plot is apparently uncovered in his hut and he is sent to solitary confinement, he knows he has touched a nerve.

    If Watson is to reveal the heinous crimes that have occurred at the camp, he must escape before he is silenced for good. All he needs is some long-distance help from his old friend, Sherlock Holmes…

      Stop Hating on Adjectives!

      I never felt fully engaged with this story - maybe because I discovered that it was the third in a series. However, the plotting didn't hold my attention and I kept on feeling that I was missing out on some important background information. In the end I did finish it - but then felt that I had wasted my time.

      I am really enjoying this series of Dr Watson WW1 mysteries by Robert Ryan. They are very well written with great characters and good mysteries. There is a surprise death of a character at the end - a character I liked, so I was sorry about that. I will read the next one soon.

      Ok but a bit grittier than I like my Holmes and Watson.
