Histoire
Judith Potts is 77 years old and blissfully happy. She lives on her own in a faded mansion just outside Marlow, there’s no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink, and to keep herself busy she sets crosswords for The Times newspaper. One evening, while out swimming in the Thames, Judith witnesses a brutal murder. The local police don’t believe her story, so she decides to investigate for herself and is soon joined in her quest by Suzie, a salt-of-the-earth dog-walker, and Becks, the prim and proper wife of the local vicar.

Did one of the Cavendish brothers poison their stepmother, Mrs. Iglethorp, or was it her new husband? Nadia May reads with such a delightful English accent, intonation, and careful pacing that the suspense and drama build gradually. Each character is easily distinguishable and a treat to listen to, especially Poirot. This baffling tale with many characters is well worth this listening experience. The compulsion to discover the truth is motive enough for all.

Set in the wide-open spaces of the American West, The Power of the Dog is a stunning story of domestic tyranny, brutal masculinity, and thrilling defiance from one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in American literature. The novel tells the story of two brothers—one magnetic but cruel, the other gentle and quiet—and of the mother and son whose arrival on the brothers’ ranch shatters an already tenuous peace.

Sherlock Holmes at his best
as a life long fan I have listened to the stories of sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his spirit truly lives on in the newest story. well done mr Horowitz...well done indeed, and in the same way Derek Jacobi brings Dr Watson to life in every word.

Narrator makes it.
Finished "house of Silk" thought it was good and immediately bought "Moriarity".
In M it feels like the narrator is reading the part, good but in HOS it feels as Jacobi is acting.
Maybe the English accent but strong recommend for HOS.
.
Edit:
Got thinking that "acting" could be read as derogatory.
Not as I meant.
but his "voice" would not have worked in the Moriarity read

Holy Batman, Sherlock Holmes!
Horowitz captures Watson and Sherlock Holmes so masterfully that I forget I was not listening to or reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Derek Jacobi's reading was perfection. His voice and Horowitz's words had me spellbound throughout the story. Whether you're a Conan Doyle, Jacobi, or Horowitz fan, you'll find that this audiobook is for you. It is a thoroughly enjoyable whodunit.

Can I still enter review if not finished?
If might not be fair to enter the review when I haven't finished the book yet, but I want to document my enthusiasm about this book.
I was introduced to Anthony Horowitz by his latest book, The Word is Murder, and I really enjoyed it. The plot twist was brilliant and maybe because I am novice to Mystery/Thriller genre, but I did not see that coming.
Then I was researching his other work, and this book came to my attention.
I'm still early in the book, but the case is getting more complicated.
Some of the description of deceased victims were very graphic and a bit much for me, but I was able to skim through and go to Sherlock's brilliant reasoning.
Hope I would be able to update my review once I'm finished.

While Derek Jacobi is a wonderful narrator, he was wasted on this poor story. Don't waste a credit on this one.

Thanks, not for me
*Spoiler alert*
When picking up a Sherlock Holmes style mystery I was not expecting gruesome torture / murder of children and a depressing storyline revolving around a pedophile ring.
Doesn't line up with the kind of Sherlock Holmes plots I was used to by Doyle. I guess I am not a tough enough mysterie/thriller reader, just looking for some interesting storyline, not shock and depression.
If there had been any indication of this in the book description, I would have definitely skipped this one.
