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.

Sherlock Goes to The Circus

Sherlock Holmes and the Spring-Heeled Tiger by Ian Shimwell is yet another fun and witty Sherlock Holmes adventure. The overall story is full of mystery and intrigue. As well as several funny moments like Watson trying to talk to the circus clowns. Kevin Theis does yet another great job at brining Sherlock Holmes and Watson to life. All in all I would recommend Sherlock Holmes and the Spring-Heeled Tiger to anyone who is a fan of Sherlock Holmes or likes a good mystery.

I have submitted this review after listening to the audiobooks of this title.

With the redoubtable Dr Watson, Holmes looks at a murder of gentleman of some note. All clues seem to point to the tiger from the circus, but Holmes doesn't believe that to be so.
A rather light hearted theatrical performance for Holmes and Watson.

Ian Shimwell returns with more adventures in this script series. This one definitely peaked my interest as I’m curious about the clue left at the end, can’t wait to pick up the next book to see what the conclusion will be.

A short well written Holmes story

This book has Holmes and Watson investigating incidents around a circus. This is written as a script which I find a little distracting but still a fun read.

Reminds me of radio days, good or bad still love listening to anything of Sherlock and Watson, this was an adventure to the circus, and Watson got the blunt of it. Enjoyable
Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
