Publisher's summary

Imagine a Holmes without his Boswell or, as is the case with the audiobook you will soon have to your ears, imagine a Holmes without the voice of Watson. Is there a difference? After all, we have learned about the great detective, not through his own voice and eyes but through that of his loyal companion, his dear friend and his Boswell. What might we be missing? Who else could tell of the great detective’s feats?

Find out as today's best Sherlock Holmes authors including Derrick Belanger, Luke Kuhns, Kieran Lyne, David Marcum, Jack McDevitt, Richard Paolinelli, David Ruffle, Geri Schear, Don Smith, Elizabeth Varadan, Daniel Victor, and Marcia Wilson tell stories from the perspectives of Sherlock Holmes, Mrs Hudson, Colonel Sebastian Moran, Raymond Chandler, Inspector Lestrade, Winston Churchill, Violet Hunter, Henry Mencken, and many others.

Experience Holmes like never before as you go beyond Watson! Includes a special introductory toast from Mark Levy, BSI.

Enjoyable tales

This anthology is of reasonably good quality and introduces some interesting viewpoints that aren’t seen in the canonical tales. Some are sublime, others are implausible, and the rest are serviceable.

The narrator’s performance mars some of the quality with American accents sounding more like Joe Pesci than anything else and a number of mispronounced words or repeated sentences that should have been caught during production (the most egregious of these is in an early tale where a perambulation is pronounced as prerambulation).

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
