Critic reviews

"Since he received an Audie nomination for Volume I and an Audie Award for Volume II, it’s not surprising that Charlton Griffin gives another extraordinary performance in this volume of Sherlock Holmes works. In addition to impeccable interpretations of familiar characters - Holmes, Watson, Mycroft, and Lestrade - Griffin creates remarkably believable women. Griffin’s narration is fresh, flawless, and completely winning." (AudioFile magazine)

I've listened to this repeatedly.

These stories are fantastic and they are read very well. This collection is one of my favorites

Excellent recording! A must listen.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes to be better than the print version?

This is not applicable in my case.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character I would have to say is Watson, because he proves himself in most cases just as good at deduction as Holmes.

Have you listened to any of Charlton Griffin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to other recordings.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The greatest detective.

Any additional comments?

As soon as I was introduced to audiobooks when I was in high school, my first book was a collection of Holme's cases. I loved these cases so much, I was hoping that the entire library would be recorded some day. Thankfully, This masterful recording was posted. I found myself in nineteenth century London. picturing myself solving cases. I loved every one of the novels, but I direct your attention to my favorite cases. The man with the twisted lip, the red headed league, the adventure of the specled band, and the adventure of the blue carbunkle. I can't state enough that this is a must have listen if you are a Holmes fan.

Captivating

Each story will absorb you into a world of intrigue. Truly worth the time and effort of listening to each curious case.

well done

we loved it was a very intertaining book. we would love to hear it again

classic

one off the bucket list. it was not a disappointment. it took a while and I never realized how much of an impersonable horse's ass Holmes was, but he was right in each case. there is something to learn from that though in how to treat people. the narrator did a wonderful job changing his voice to match the different characters.

thoroughly entertaining!

When you read these srories, you'll know why they are considered classics. Enjoy reading these.

I Loved It!

if you see using your monthly credit on this it is definitely worth it! you get about 70 hours of Sherlock's stories for only the small monthly priced. If you like mystery and are a big fan of Sherlock you will definitely not be disappointed with purchasing this! Kept me busy and company for about a month and constantly making me want to come back to finish the stories.

Love it!!

The narrating was so fantastic! All the character voices he did we just amazing!! Recommend!!

brilliant

I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this book. the narrator was excellent. I believe him to be the best on audible.

I can listen to this over and over

I absolutely love this complete collection and the performance was top notch. It's like seeing an old friend again whenever I listen to Holmes and Watson dive into these cases. A must buy for anyone who likes to hear a good story.
