Sherlock Holmes und der unerwünschte Klient (Sherlock Holmes Mysterien 8)

Rate this book
Der rätselhafte Wahrsager Toby Knight besucht die Baker Street 221B und sucht Hilfe bei einem unheimlichen Dilemma.

Holmes, ein überzeugter Skeptiker in allen mystischen Dingen, weist Knight als Scharlatan ab, der gutgläubige Menschen ausbeutet, und fordert ihn auf, sofort zu gehen.

Watson, bewegt von der Verzweiflung des Wahrsagers, bittet ihn zu bleiben und mehr über sein Problem zu erzählen.

Knight tut dies und gesteht, dass einige seiner Vorhersagen unheimlich genau waren, aber mit katastrophalen Folgen für seine Kunden, die dann Knight für ihr Unglück verantwortlich machten.

Trotz seiner Bedenken ist Holmes von den Details, die Knight liefert, fasziniert und stimmt zu, den Fall zu untersuchen.
Im Laufe der Ermittlungen wird klar, dass jemand Knights Lebensunterhalt sabotiert und dass mehr als eine Person Knight scheitern sehen möchte. Aber wer?

Holmes' scharfer Verstand deckt bald Täuschung und Irreführung auf, was ihn zu der Frage führt, ob der Hauptverdächtige möglicherweise das Opfer selbst sein könnte.

Entertaining Holmes listening. 🎉😎🎵

This kindle e-book novella is from my Kindle Unlimited account book 8 of 8.

More to come?

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are approached by a magician. Holmes does not want anything to do with him but listens and helps. This leads to a happy ending.

I would recommend this series and author to readers of British mystery novels and fans of Sherlock Holmes. 2024

I never realized the number of authors writing Sherlock Holmes novels was so large. I have barely started and I am enjoying every story.

An excellent Holmes story

This starts out with Watson disagreeing with Holmes who does not want to take a case. Watson ultimately convinces Holmes they should take on this case. A fairly short story with several surprises. A fun read.

good read. It's closer the classic Sir Arthur style than some of the fantastic supernatural
Sherlock I have been seeing out there recently. Sherlock seems like a regular though very perceptive chactor in this one.

This book had an interesting twist where Holmes reluctantly accepted a case but only because it involved the welfare of others. It was well written, but not stellar. Still, it was a quick read and worthy of interest of any Holmes fan.

Not Bad

A bit of a turn with fortune tellers. But even Mr. Knight couldn't predict what would happen to him, so Sherlock Holmes to the rescue...

Holmes to the rescue

Just shows what a great detective Holmes is. Puts aside his views and helps someone indistress. Good outcome all round.
