The Cursed Writer is a cozy mystery with a strong Hound of Baskerville vibe, perfect for Sherlock Holmes fans. Holly Hepburn brings classic detective energy to Harriet ‘Harry’ White, a sharp and determined protagonist, who handles a gripping investigation with the finesse of Sherlock Holmes.
Set in 1930s London, the novel beautifully evokes the era’s atmosphere, while offering an empowering outlook on women’s roles through Harry’s confident and resourceful character. The plot maintains a steady pace with clever deductions and well-crafted suspense. As the second book in the Baker Street Mystery series, The Cursed Writer builds on the first installment and sets the stage for a promising third.
A special highlight of the audiobook is Sophie Roberts’ narration. Her authentic old English accent vividly brings to life the setting from London’s bustling streets to the long-forgotten villages and outskirts. Her voice enriches the immersive experience of this classic detective tale.
Overall, this book is a rewarding read (and listen, if you are an audiobook lover like me) for cozy mystery lovers who enjoy clever plots, engaging characters, and atmospheric storytelling. Holly Hepburn is an amazing talent in the genre, and with narrators like Sophie Roberts bringing her work to life, the series promises to captivate fans for years to come.
