CRY OF THUNDER Sherlock Holmes & Kolchak the Night Stalker

Fans of both the 1970s TV detective Kolchak, "The Night Stalker," and the iconic Sherlock Holmes will be delighted with this improbable tale in which these famous investigators work on the same crime a century apart. Narrator Johnny Heller's skills are on display as he shifts from the cynical coolness of a 21st-century crime reporter to the unflappable sophistication of the British arch-sleuth and to some minor characters, including an American cowboy. Heller's rapid yet distinct delivery allows him to keep the listener on track through the intense action, snappy dialogue, and multiple plotlines typical of this story's original graphic novel format. In its new form, this remains a clever, well-presented story with broad audience appeal. M.O.B. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2016]
