Publisher Description
The world’s most famous detective. The most brilliant mind in fiction. But before he became the great detective, who was young Sherlock Holmes?
The year is 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is 14. His life is that of a perfectly ordinary army officer’s son: boarding school, good manners, a classical education – the backbone of the British Empire.
But all that is about to change. With his father suddenly posted to India, and his mother mysteriously ‘unwell’, Sherlock is sent to stay with his eccentric uncle and aunt in their vast house in Hampshire.
So begins a summer that leads Sherlock to uncover his first murder, a kidnap, corruption and a brilliantly sinister villain of exquisitely malign intent.
The Death Cloud is the first in a series of novels in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and engaging teenager – creating unputdownable detective adventures that remain true to the spirit of the original books.

Awesome

Books are fun!
It's a good listen. Can be used as an aid to fall asleep when needed. Also can be compared to the alex rider series but alas the content falls short of the required of exitement to keep a 12 year old away from his computer games. To conclude I must point out that this only one person's opinion and I am a clueless as the next person who wishes to write a short review.

Younge Shelock Holmes
I think it is the best. It very spooky and I stayed up all night listering to it. Buy it listen to and enjoy it. I also enjoyed it because it is adventurous and there is always something round the corner for Sherlock. :/
