"For the Fun of It"
What a great narrator Derek Jacobi is! His reading of "Sherlock Holmes" unabridged is just flawless. Sherlock Holmes cannot be beat for sheer fun and enjoyment. Try these books in the car -- each story is not too long but still really compelling. There is a reason that Doyle and Holmes are classics -- add Jacobi and you have a winning combination indeed! Elementary!

"Timeless!"
I've read these books many times before and wanted to listen to them on my ride between jobs. Great narration is the key to the Holmes Cannon of work. It delievered in spades. Loved it!

"Elementary!"
Derek Jacobi delivers Sherlock in fantastic form, the adventures seem short to begin with but as you get further into the book the stories get longer and more involved, which is quite a stroke of genius by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. the audio presentation sounds very authentic and as sherlock should be (I still only ever picture sherlock as jeremy brett), I would recommend this version of the adventures over any others.

"Classic Sherlock Holmes"
Classic Sherlock Holmes--everyone knows the stories but with Derek Jacobi's performance they are fresh and entertaining. Excellent for family road trips.

"Never enough Sherlock Holmes"
If you could sum up The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in three words, what would they be?Amusing, intriguing, historical
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?Sometimes. They're short stories, not a novel. I'd read them before but I didn't remember everything.
Which character – as performed by Derek Jacobi – was your favorite?No favorite.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?Here and there Doyle brings out a touching scene or character. Not really about being moved, these stories.
Any additional comments?Jacobi and Holmes are perfect together.

I absolutely love audible! I read constantly and there is nothing better than finding a new series to follow. I'm a syfy/fant kinda gal.

"Greatness!"
I love this book! I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan and anxiously await the 'wrap up' (as I call it) to see the small parts of the story that I missed leading to the 'bad guy'. This is a great book with a collection of SH stories that are every enjoyable.

"Good but could be better"
The narrator does a good job, except it is confusing when he tires to narrate female parts. This was good, but not like the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce radio series. There is a lot of long narration. Still, I am not unhappy I bought it.
