On Consistent Luck

by Orlando Pearson, Steve White (Narrator)

How can the insurance companies keep on producing record profits when the economic theories of Professor Alfred Marshall and his protégé John Maynard Keynes suggest that this should be impossible when their prices can be easily compared? The Chancellor of the Exchequer would like an answer and commissions Sherlock Holmes to find out.

The great Baker Street sleuth and Dr Watson confront Mr. Peters, the CEO of Global Home Insurance, and the upshot is a change in the political landscape as well as Holmes's retirement to his beekeeper's cottage in Sussex.

A tale of Holmes investigating the world of insurance and its less than honest ways of making money. Less interesting than usual for The Redacted Sherlock Holmes Series, but seeing how this played into his retirement to Sussex was a highlight.

I received a free audio edition of this book in exchange for a review.

Sherlock Homes and Doctor Watson meet up with Professor Alfred Marshall and his protégé John Maynard Keynes with the question about home insurance policies prices. As they seek out answers, they meet up with political intrigue and a bizarre price fixing scheme.

A very smart, very enjoyable short story. I really liked it, which is no surprise, as I always liked this author :)
