Volume 1

by Patricia Srigley

Narrated by: James Meunier

Production by: Srigley Arts, Wiggles Worth

Fresh and Highly Entertaining

Sherlock Holmes has always had a knack for crossing paths with intriguing people—but this time, it’s a cat. Unmoved by superstition, Holmes takes to the small black ball of fur, finding comfort in its presence after the loss of Dr. Watson and his loyal hound. Together, they navigate a series of interwoven mysteries, leading to the startling revelation of Mrs. Watson’s true nature and work. A unique and captivating twist on the classic Holmes tale!

Patricia Srigley skillfully builds on the familiar personalities of Watson and Holmes, weaving fresh adventures, new characters, and inventive storylines. Her character development is rich and engaging, offering deeper insight into both men. Through these short stories, we see Holmes’s underlying loneliness and a married Watson—out of his element, missing his friend, and occasionally portrayed as endearingly bumbling. Holmes remains brilliant, self-assured, and surprisingly susceptible to being outwitted—particularly by his housekeeper. Srigley delivers a captivating collection of mysteries that not only entertain but also explore the nuances of the Holmes–Watson relationship, enhanced by the delightful addition of a cat who matches Holmes’s skill in sleuthing. Smooth, natural dialogue ties the stories together, culminating in a final, satisfying mystery.

James Meunier does a fantastic job bringing each character to life, giving them voices that perfectly match their personalities. He speaks clearly, uses just the right tone for every scene, and keeps the story moving at a lively pace. Even during fast-paced moments, he switches between characters effortlessly, staying consistent and believable throughout. His performance kept me completely engaged from start to finish, and I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it.

As for the audiobook itself, it’s a refreshing take on Holmes—stripping away the usual stuffiness and showing a more human, yet still clever and entertaining side to the famous detective. It’s a fun, engaging listen that fans of Holmes (and even those new to his world) will find hard to shut off.
