Synopsis
A richly seductive world of passion, breathless intrigue, jeopardy, deception and revelations... Two years after the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes has lost his hunger. Refusing to take on any new cases, he's listless, bankrupt and reduced to selling the stories of his past glories. But when his brother Mycroft is arrested for treason, Holmes is jolted back into action, and along with Watson and the mysterious Irene Adler, he must battle powerful, unknown forces in a race to save Mycroft's life. With demons of his own to fight, lost in a sea of madness, can Sherlock really save Mycroft from being hanged? Or will the deadly puzzles of the Best Kept Secret be the end of them all?
Our Review:
Ron Simpson - 23 May 2013
Sherlock Holmes: The Best Kept Secret, Mark Catley’s new adventure for the Arthur Conan Doyle characters, picks up the story of Holmes as he has relapsed into torpor after the horrors of his Reichenbach Falls confrontation with Moriarty, selling his story to a journalist to pay the rent, and follows his rehabilitation until at the end he is the master-detective to the life.
There is a decent mystery to solve, but that is not the main appeal of this stunning production. The how and why are more interesting than the who: with only eight characters, one of whom is dead and another of whom is unjustly accused, identifying the villain is not too difficult on the assumption that choosing Dr Watson or Inspector Lestrade would be a cheat of more than Mousetrap proportions!
The mystery is how national secrets, transmitted in an uncrackable code invented by Holmes’ brother Mycroft, could have reached an enemy and resulted in the death of a British...
