If your expectations are low, this might be okay

Okay, I normally start by reviewing the author and the story, and then the narrator. But this time, I just can't do it that way. Steve White as a terrible narrator for Holmes stories. He mispronounced at least one word every chapter, and given that the chapters averaged less than five minutes in length, is going some. The only reason I listened to this audiobook at all is because I received a free copy, in exchange for an honest review. Honestly, I can't bear to listen to this narrator.

The story was okay, but not really very Holmesian, in my opinion. It lacked the polish that some of the best pastiches have. I enjoyed it, kind of, but as I said, the narrator UTTERLY RUINED IT FOR ME! I just couldn't get past him, to see if the story was actually, as Mark Twain said of Wagner's music, "…better than it sounds."

So decide for yourself.
