Summary
Before Dr. Watson, there was Mr. Stamford . . .
London, 1876
Mr. Stamford meets Sherlock Holmes while studying at St. Bartholomew's Medical College in London. With his intense stare and unorthodox methods of doing things, Holmes has already gained a reputation as an eccentric but brilliant man.
When suspected intruders are sighted at the British Museum, Holmes is called upon to give his opinion of what happened.
But before he can come to any conclusions, something horrifying happens—one of the great treasures of the world, the priceless Rosetta Stone, is stolen from the museum.
The thieves have left a note demanding a ransom. And if it is not fulfilled they threaten to cast the Stone into the ocean so it can never be found again.
With the police on the wrong track, it is down to Holmes to solve the complex case. And when the burglary case turns into a murder investigation, it becomes a race against time before more victims are killed.

Simply marvellous!
I enjoyed listening to this story and as someone who has read and listened to the whole of Sherlock Holmes, this lived up to my expectation. A very good story plot and it kept me guessing on who it could be. I have to admit I was so wrong at my guess but I still enjoyed anyways. The narrator did an excellent job and that’s what made this audiobook fab! I recommend people who love Sherlock Holmes to listen to this!

Ok but
Book should have been titled Mr Stamford and the Rosetta Stone. The book was as much about Stamford as it was of Holmes.
Granted that the story was based on Holmes' early days as a student before he became a famous detective, but Stamford's role as his sidekick (in this mystery, with more to come) would certainly have indicated that their friendship had progressed beyond that of mere acquaintances as shown by his and Holmes' interaction when he introduced Watson to Holmes as a prospective flat sharer in A Study in Scarlet, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This just doesn’t gel well.
In many ways, Stamford was a better sidekick than Watson in that he was more on the ball, better in his deductive skills, more pragmatic. If they had worked on more cases together (as author implied) then the natural progression would have been for Stamford to be Holmes' 'Watson', not a mere acquaintance. A bit disappointing that the author had not put up a better and more convincing reason for this.

Not bad
There are now a lot of Holmes novels not by Conan-doyle, none of them are better but this was not bad, worth a listen.

Sherlock Holmes - earlier years mystery
A mystery set during SH College years before his acquaintance with Dr Watson when developing his skills in analysing the information before him and in the science lab.
Thoroughly enjoyable read. You feel you’re getting to know the younger man.
Recommend.
