Summary

"Mr. Holmes is an amateur, Hopkins." Lestrade was smiling around the stem of his pipe as he spoke. Hopkins could hear it. "Not a man who works well in teams, he. He still trusts Dr. Watson not to lie to him...and Dr. Watson's pulled some whoppers to save his skinny neck in the past." Lestrade was still smiling. "Not that that's not the most interesting thing about those fellows. I could tell you some stories about them, Stanley...oh, I could tell you stories..."

Meet Sherlock Holmes through the eyes of his fellow lodger once again... and meet both through the eyes of the Yard - especially those who saw them the most: Inspectors Lestrade, Gregson, and Bradstreet. From Montague Street to a supposedly straightforward case of smuggling in Cornwall, Scotland Yard saw more than the disconcerting and dazzling private detective: it also saw an admirable and steadfast British soldier who shared their need for justice. Doctor John Watson may call himself unremarkable, but the Yard would disagree...

The Scotland Yarders and Watson take centre stage

This audio comprises a few short stories to set the scene, then the novella, 'You Buy Bones'. The focus is on the Scotland Yarders, Lestrade and Bradstreet in particular, as well as the underappreciated Doctor John Watson. Sherlock Holmes is very much a secondary character in these stories, with the focus being on character pieces involving those who orbit him in the original stories. For a story that intends to show Watson (and to a lesser extent Holmes) through the eyes of the Scotland Yarders, I found it strange that it was written in the third person, rather than being a first person account by Lestrade, and Dominic Lopez's narration was a little one-note, but these were minor quibbbles.
