About this audiobook
Professor and Mrs. Moriarty each take on a small case to fill the time before their next play opens. They place a bet on who will finish first. James will find out if three old soldiers have been cheated of their discharge pay. Angelina must find a missing servant, presumed to have been poached.
But as they start asking questions, things take a dark turn. They uncover corruption at the heart of a circle of Army officers. A man is murdered, a friend is blamed, and Sherlock Holmes is sent to catch him. The Moriartys must use all their courage and ingenuity to save their friend, stop the loathsome crimes, and put the killer behind bars.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5August 1888 and the Moriartys have a few weeks ahead of them of idleness, and so are happy when they each receive a case to investigate. Mrs Angelina Moriarty aka Lina Lovington, actress, is asked by an officer's wife to find a missing Indian female servant. While Moriarty's case is the possible swindle of the discharge pay of Army veterans. They agree to a competition of who can solve their case first, but the situations becomes serious when a body is discovered.
Another enjoyable and well-written historical mystery in this series, with a likeable, easy style of writing and good plotting. The book can easily be read as a standalone story but I would recommend the others in the series as they are all an entertaining read.
