I was surprised at Meyer’s skill as a writer - surpassing Doyle himself at times - completely engrossing

I had been wanting to read this for some time, and am enjoying it, but the audio portion was apparently converted from an ancient audiotape and the quality is bad. At times it sounds like two tracks are running at the same time, one slightly ahead of the other.

Interesting story - Bad audio quality

Who could imagine a more fascinating collusion than that of the minds of Sherlock Holmes and Sigmund Freud? The Author takes us on a titillating ride through the turn-of-the-century landscapes of Austria and minds of two great thinkers (one fictional, one real) as they intersect to solve a crime most foul. The narrator does an excellent job acting the parts of the varied roles he takes on. Good fun; I couldn't put it down!

Fun with Freud

I love the story, the author is great, the performance… Sherlock Holmes sounds mentally ill through the whole book. Well I can only say 12 chapters, because I could not listen anymore. I have ordered the book online so I can finish the story. Again, nothing against the author. Excellent story.
