Sherlock Holmes and the Baron of Brede Place

De: Daniel D. Victor

Narrado por: Ben Carling

They called her Lady Stewart when she was married to a British aristocrat. They called her Miss Cora when she ran a brothel in Florida. But she called herself Mrs. Crane when she asked Sherlock Holmes to locate her common-law husband, writer Stephen Crane, who'd gone missing in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. In their attempt to fulfil the lady's request, Holmes and Watson encounter a world of celebrity authors, terrorist bombings, and haunted manor houses. But it is only when Stephen Crane falls victim to a notorious blackmailer that the master detective and his partner find themselves face-to-face with cold-blooded murder. Under darkened skies, a solitary apparition stood brightly illuminated on the ship's gloomy deck. Or so it seemed. Cloaked in a long white raincoat - the same gleaming duster he'd worn in the face of Spanish gunfire at San Juan Heights - Stephen Crane looked for all the world like the ghost so many people thought he'd already become.

Such a great performance!

The narration was so well done, I almost didn't care that the story had a few problems! The number of voices in this one must've felt daunting, but Ben Carling was more than up to the challenge!! Well done!!

A Crane in a Mess

A strange meeting with a famous author's wife, while investigating notorious but efficient blackmailer , the game is afoot

Great narration

Story was mediocre with lots of description rather than plot advancement. Narration, however, was amazing. Hard to believe this is just one narrator.

Get lost in the story....

This ladies and gentlemen, is how a story should told.

I can't. Yet.

So far, Cora.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Very much so.

Any additional comments?

Astounding that one person could comprise each voice with such distinction and authenticity. It brings the listener into a world in which the story takes on a level of detail that could well have previously been outside the scope of merely reading to ones self. Mr. Carling does a phenomenal job! Just a few chapters remain. Can't wait!
