Moriarty: The Devil’s Game by Charles Kindinger 5 stars

Synopsis:
Moriarty turns one of literature’s most famous rivalries on its head, recasting Professor James Moriarty as a desperate fugitive framed for murder–and hunted by dark forces who will stop at nothing to exploit his brilliance.

Moriarty finds the professor on the heels of an earth-shattering mathematical breakthrough–a formula so powerful, it can predict the future–and at the scene of a gruesome murder he must solve to prove his innocence. With London’s sprawling underworld as their battleground, Moriarty and Holmes match their peerless intellects to gain the ever-shifting upper hand. But as their duel escalates, so does the deadly cost of pursuing the truth. “What will it take to get your justice?” Dr. Watson asks an utterly ensnared Moriarty, "And if you do get it… what will you become?"

My review:
What if we as the reader got James Moriarty wrong from the beginning? That Moriarty was never the villain Holmes made us think he was.

With a full cast of characters staring Dominic Monaghan, Phil Lamar, and Billy Boyd, the story is fully immersive with sound effects so it may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

I loved this take on Moriarty and him telling his story from his perspective. Highly recommended if you enjoy audibles and mysteries.

I love a well narrated story and this sounds good. I like the idea that Moriarty might have been miscast as an evil man.
