- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When the police are baffled by a harpoon murder, they call on Sherlock Holmes for assistance. The murdered man is a retired sea captain known as Black Peter. Clues at the scene seem to point to a young man who believed his missing banker father might have been murdered by Black Peter. However, Holmes isn’t convinced that this man could have wielded a harpoon so expertly, and he sets a trap to flush out the real murderer.I didn’t find any of the characters appealing in this one. The sailors and their accessories seem like stereotypes rather than well-rounded characters. I had a hard time following the audio as the story didn’t hold my interest very well.
