A Slight Trick Of The Mind by Mitch Cullin 
This is an Unabridged Audio book in Mint condition still sealed.
“This look at Holmes near his natural death is a delight and a deeply satisfying read. Cullin's work is hard to pigeonhole, but his talent is undeniable, an ambitious, beautifully written novel. This sophisticated spin on Doyle's perennially popular detective could take him up a notch recognition-wise.” — Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"What a pleasure it was to re-enter Sherlock Holmes's world, and find the aged detective as intelligent and observant as I'd remembered. In Mitch Cullin's imagination, however, Holmes is more pensive and wistful — more human — than ever before. A Slight Trick of the Mind is an elegant meditation on memory and mortality, brilliantly conceived and beautifully written, full of subtlety and wisdom and grace." — The Daily Mail ". . . read wonderfully by Simon Jones in the unabridged audiobook, and he strikes just the right balance between the arrogance and incisiveness of the old Sherlock Holmes and the pathos of the old frail man at the end of his life." — AudioFile Synopsis
It is 1947, and the long-retired Holmes, now 93, lives in a remote Sussex farmhouse, where his memories and intellect begin to go adrift. He lives with a housekeeper and her young son, Roger, whose patient, respectful demeanour stirs paternal affection in Holmes. Holmes has settled into the routine of tending his apiary, writing in journals, and grappling with the diminishing powers of his razor-sharp mind, when Roger comes upon a case hitherto unknown. It is that of a Mrs. Keller, the long-ago object of Holmes's deep — and never acknowledged — infatuation. As Mitch Cullin weaves together Holmes's hidden past, his poignant struggle to retain mental acuity, and his unlikely relationship with Roger, Holmes is transformed from the machine-like, mythic figure into an ordinary man, confronting and acquiescing to emotions he has resisted his entire life. This subtle and wise work is more than just a re-imagining of a classic character. It is a profound meditation on faultiness of memory and how, as we grow older, the way we see the world is inevitably altered.
