About the author

I naturally loved English and Literature at school and pursued both successfully in further education etc.
Over the years, I have written many different works from short stories to novellas and covered genres such as science fiction, historical adventure, horror and mysteries.
More recently, I began to write three-act plays based on favourite series which eventually led to developing my own, 'The Armchair Detective'. My aim was to create an unique, absorbing and fun mystery series.
'Armchair Detective' titles have been as high as No. 2 in Amazon Kindle's British Detectives and Drama (British & Irish) catagories and inside the top-selling 7,000 in the USA and inside the top-selling 550 in the UK
'The Armchair Detective' has been broadcast on the radio, as full-cast audio dramas, in the United States as a Shoestring Radio Production.
I have also created, developed and written 'The Novella Range', Classic Scripts and 'The Engine Series' as well as writing the popular 'The Holmes and Watson Series'.

The Armchair Detective... solving mysteries from the armchair since October 2010.

Entertaining Holmes listening 🤔

Holmes and Watson are on the way to a vacation in the Scottish Highlands. Holmes hunts his ankle and the inspector goes. They run into the monster on the first day. Then again on the next day! It all comes out on the third day! 😎

Watson Takes the Lead

Sherlock Holmes and the Legend of Loch Logarth by Ian Shimwell is a fun mystery. The overall story kind of gave me Scooby Doo vibes but in a good way. The thing I liked the most was the pairing of Watson and Lacahd. I felt that their back and forth banter was really funny. It was also cool to see Watson as the main protagonist for once. I thought he did a great job. The narrator Kevin Theis did an outstanding job bringing the characters and story to life. I also enjoyed the music accompanied with it as well. All in all I would recommend Sherlock Holmes and the Legend of Loch Logarth to anyone who is a Sherlock Holmes fan or enjoys a good Scooby Doo mystery.

A mystery set in Scotland

Holmes and Watson are about to leave for a fishing holiday in Scotland. As they are leaving Holmes falls down the stairs and sprains his ankle. He gets Lestrade to take his place with Watson on the trip. When they arrive at the inn stories of the Loch monster and his most recent attack abound. From there the action picks up with a surprise ending. A fun read.

Though I've thoroughly enjoyed the other Watson & Holmes Scripts to this point. This one was my least favorite. It was fairly predictable, and the bumbling Watson character was to overdone it was almost unlikable in this rendition. It is still worth a listen, especially if your prefer the Nigel Bruce rendition of Watson.

Lestrade and Watson together on a fishing vacation. Not for long, was it a myth or was someone prowling. Good Narration reminds me of radio days. Enjoyed Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was fun to listen to. I had a feeling one particular character knew what was going on even if it was never really revealed. Watson takes this investigation head on and does a fairly decent job.

An enjoyable Sherlock Holmes story. One without Holmes for most of the story. Well performed in the form of an audio drama with linking descriptions. Light humour balances out the slightly over the top performance. but Kevin Theis generally does a good job on the narration.
