Publisher's summary

Benedict Cumberbatch reads these four new Sherlock Holmes stories by John Taylor: 'An Inscrutable Masquerade', 'The Conundrum of Coach 13', 'The Trinity Vicarage Larceny' and 'The 10.59 Assassin'.

Inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories, John Taylor has written four more mysteries featuring the world's greatest detective.

Read by acclaimed actor Benedict Cumberbatch, these new adventures share all the suspense of the original tales.

In a drawer in his bureau, Dr. Watson keeps a locked cedarwood chest - a 'box of secrets'.

It contains an archive of notes referring to some of Holmes' cases that, for one reason or another, never saw the light of day. Now, for the first time, Watson has decided to reveal the truth to the world....

In these four thrilling stories, Holmes experiments with the science of ballistics, locates some missing gold bullion, investigates the theft of a large amount of money and solves the baffling mystery of the Stovey murder.

good to hear Holmes again but kind of predictable

I enjoyed hearing another Sherlock Holmes story or two. However I was able to predict much of what was happening based on the clues given up front which is not the same with the original.

Not Bad

Good stories, just not Conan-Doyle good. Cumberbatch is OK too, just not Stephen Fry good.

solid

from beginning to end the story is just as riveting as Benedict's voice! James Taylor does an amazing job continuing the work of Arthur conan Doyle and I am never going to find a better sherlock than Mr Cumberbatch!

Benedict Cumberbatch Reads Beautifully

Like all Sherlock Holmes storys this was wonderfully engaging. Mr. Cumberbatch's 'schedule' needs assistance! 😉
