Sherlock Holmes: The Seamstress of Peckham Rye (CD)

Holmes and Watson go head-to-head with new and old villains, and once again solve the unsolvable, in a new adventure written by Jonathan Barnes. Autumn 1900. The lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are in a state of change. The doctor has moved out of Baker Street, waiting anxiously to marry his new love, the American actress, Genevieve Dumont. Holmes has been left restless and fretful, eager for mystery and distraction. A secret code and a brutal murder promise to bring the two men back into each other’s orbit. But there is more to the investigation than first appears to be the case. Something greater seems to be at work, moving dextrously behind the scenes: a force in the London underground known only as The Seamstress of Peckham Rye. Cast: Nicholas Briggs (Sherlock Holmes), Richard Earl (Dr John Watson), Lucy Briggs-Owen (Genevieve Dumont), Mark Elstob (Joseph Drennan/Hotelier/Newspaper Seller), India Fisher (Mrs Elizabeth Tyndall/Postmistress), James Joyce (Inspector Silas Fisher), Anjella MacKintosh (Mrs Bridget Culpepper/Mrs Ogilvy), Glen McCready (Bernard Brownrigg/Tailor/Conductor/Constable/Loafer/Railway Employee).
