Not Holmes

What didn’t you like about Peter Batchelor’s performance?

The reading of these classic tales is very poorly done. Monotonous; with no break between stories. This may, in part, have more to do with the publishing of the work that the actual delivery.

More issues with recording

many stories skip/missing large portions as if a part of recording was lost or erased

I just wish the stories had been in order

It was a bit discombobulating going from one story to the next with them out of order
