Amazing except...

Any additional comments?

Why wouldn't they break this series into tracks as opposed to lumping it all into one giant file??? They have done this with the past stories but with this one its just one, 9 hour long track! BOOOOOOO with this absurd exception, its an awesome recording.

A Must for the Holmes Fan

Derek Jacobi is to the audio Holmes what Jeremy Brett was to the video - absolute perfection! Whether you listen to one or many, these stories are a wonderful respite from the modern world. Holmes is enigmatic, Watson is lovable, and the plots - though indisputably dated - continue to be intriguing and satisfying. If you know the tales well, vaguely, or not at all, "The Memoires" is one of the best collections to choose and this is the very best narrator. It's elementary!

Derek Jacobi is the best Sherlock narrator

Great stories are even greater when an outstanding actor like Derek Jacobi reads them... he interprets the voices and subtext in such a warm an engaging way you can listen to these mysteries over and over again.

Wonderful stories, wonderful reading.

Derek Jacobi's performance is excellent as usual. His marvelous reading of these classics has inspired me to enjoy the entire Holmes canon.

stellar

Derek Jacobi doubles the quality of the story. His enthusiasm and variety of voice inflections and personality make it tangible.

Mr. Jacobi is very disappointing

I have other audiobooks narrated by Mr. Jacobi and have been enthralled. However, in this particular case his voice sounds overworked, strained and hoarse . Therefore it is difficult to listen to the chapters.
