Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Simon Darwen’s narration is nothing short of mesmerizing in 'The Serpent Under.' His crisp delivery captures both Holmes's sharp intellect and Watson's steady reliability, making the duo feel like living, breathing characters. The historical setting comes to life through Darwen's impeccable diction, immersing listeners fully into late 19th-century London. However, a few moments of pacing could have been tightened for greater impact—particularly in some of the longer exposition sections. Despite this minor quibble, 'The Serpent Under' is a compelling listen that fans of the genre will find hard to put down.
