  Dumped by her fiancé and craving a fresh start, Vylette West retreats to the one place she swore she’d never return—her peculiar hometown of Driftwood Cove. 
  But instead of peace and quiet, she impulsively buys the town’s most haunted property: Briggs Manor, a crumbling estate with creaky floors, a ghostly sea captain who doesn’t believe in personal space… and a raven who talks back. 
  Now juggling home repairs and the launch of her new real estate agency, Vylette lands her first listing—the Henderson house, a property so steeped in ghostly gossip even the bravest buyers won’t touch it. 
  To make the sale, she’ll have to navigate cranky spirits, whispered secrets, and the suspicious stares of her not-so-welcoming neighbors—all while fending off Bas Matthews, a ruthless real estate mogul who’s made it his mission to drive her out of town. 
  If Vylette can sell a haunted house, dodge a shady rival, and keep her sass-mouth raven from live-tweeting her life mistakes… she might just survive Driftwood Cove’s real estate market—ghosts and all. 
  Welcome to Driftwood Cove—where the ghosts gossip, the raven judges you, and every listing has a skeleton in the closet. 
  A paranormal cozy mystery with hauntings, humor, and a raven that never shuts up.

  When Chet the dog, “the most lovable narrator in all of crime fiction” (Boston Globe), and his human partner, PI Bernie Little, are approached by a down-andout older man with a cardboard sign at an exit ramp, Bernie is shocked to discover

  Then, Rocket goes suspiciously missing. With his former teammate likely in danger, Bernie goes back to his old high school for answers, where much that he remembers turns out not to be true—and there are powerful and dangerous  
  people not happy with the questions Bernie is asking. 
   
  Bernie soon learns that he misunderstood much about his high school years—and now, Chet and Bernie are plunged into a dangerous case where the past isn’t dead and the future could be fatal.

  The London Borough of Hackney is run by the crime syndicate Bai Ze. One night an expensive horse carriage arrives at their headquarters. Behind the carriage is the leader of the Bai Ze, Mr.Quin, hanging at the end of a bloody rope. The journey here has stripped him of his clothes and shredded most his skin off him. He rasps one final word to his second in command: 'Mogwai'.
  
  It's the Cantonese word for the devil. In London the normal order of the criminal syndicates has been broken and a new dangerous villain is playing to win the entire game. It is also ruining the business of the Bohemia - the secret underworld club. The members are being killed and club owner, Irene Adler, must seek the help of the only person who can solve these mysterious murders - her strange friend, Sherlock Holmes.
  
  Somewhere at the other end of all these murders lies the truth about Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty.

  - 'Highly recommend
  I found this series as I am fan of anything by Anthony Horowitz who is listed as a co author on book one. It's fast become one of my favourite audiobook series with such a clever & enthralling take on the world of Sherlock Holmes and a future somewhat dystopian London. The narration is one of the best I've ever heard, possibly even better than the great Stephen Fry. All the characters voices are authentic and different , not one annoying . Superb cannot wait for the next instalment'
  
  
  - 'Brilliant reimagining
  Pitch perfect narration in a fantastic reimagining of well loved characters. I hope there are more instalments'
  
  
  - 'Wonderful!!
  The Becoming Sherlock series is ruddy amazing! Wonderfully imaginative, beautifully written and perfectly performed. They really, really need to be made into a telly series. Just brilliant and I'm waiting for No.4 with bated breath.
  
  
  - 'The Magician The making of Sherlock.
  A seamless continuation of the previous books. Containing the character and intrigue that this novel presents. I recommend it as another great read.'
  
  - 'Sherlock and John live on!
  As a big fan of anything Sherlock Holmes related (the Conan Doyle originals, the TV series, and Anthony Horowitz's House of Silk etc ) I was a little skeptical about this new series, especially as it's set in the future. But I am LOVING them - all three so far have been great. Gripping storylines, superb narration. I can't wait for the next one!'

Holmes does not reveal the crime, but secures James's release because of the presence of a third person at the crime scene.
