The Cotswolds Werewolf and Other Stories of Sherlock Holmes

By: Peter K. Andersson

Narrated by: Nigel Peever

Someone is killing sheep in the Cotswolds. Or something. As Holmes and Watson arrive in the tranquility of a little village of shepherds and farmers to enjoy a few restful days in the idyllic countryside, strange things start to occur. While Holmes locks himself in his hotel room, consumed by depression, Watson is left to explore the surroundings on his own, acquainting himself with both the local shepherding community, the eccentric vicar, and the local folklore concerning a mysterious werewolf.

It isn't long before the murderer directs his attention to other prey than sheep, and Holmes is forced out of his ennui into a world of fog-enshrouded moors, wild men, pitchforks, and a big bad wolf.

This volume also includes four shorter stories in the vein of Conan Doyle: "The Adventure of the Velvet Lampshade", "The Adventure of the Missing Mudlark", "The Adventure of the Forking Paths", and "The Adventure of the One-Armed Pugilist".

Another smashing success in the Sherlock Holmes world. Nigel once again delivers a smashing performance

The Cotswold Werewolf etc

This was a wonderful version of this book. Sheep are being killed and then it escalates and Holmes shows up to investigate. Nigel Peever was an excellent narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

One one and only Sherlock Holmes

This is very well done and the narrator did an awesome job bring each and ever character alive most of the stories just grab you from the beginning to the end.

A fascinating storyline

I found this book to be hauntingly and full of intrigue. I loved the descriptive narration. The background sound effects were absolutely perfect. I received this review copy at my request and I could not stop listening. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Gets to the core of Sherlock

I am a Holmesian, and 100% ,without question, a lifelong fan. I grew up on Holmes and was Weaned on Basil Rathbone, was stunned by Jeremy Brett, and have cherished the Holmes collection for as long as I can remember.

Anderson captures the heart of what makes Holmes tick; he understands the nuanced relationship between him and Watson, and he crafts mysteries in the same vein as Doyle. It's a real pleasure to experience this tale.

Peever is practically perfect in the preaching of the gospel of Holmes, and undoubtedly delights the listener with a bevy of voices that seem as limitless as the creations that come from a make-up artist's kit.

I have to listen to the Neck Tie tale now. Be worried, because this level of writing is addictive.
