Great Sherlock Holmes mystery

I enjoyed this Sherlock Holmes mystery. It is well written.

The narration was great too.

I would read more books by this author and listen to books by this narrator.

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Nothing is what you think it is

Sherlock Homes in various personas , along with Doctor Watson attempt to get answers in various cases. Sometimes Homes is disguised and many times the case may be disguised to look normal.

Wonderful Sherlock Holmes Stories

The Adventure of the Coal-Tar Derivative by Steven Phillip Jones is a very good set of Sherlock Holmes short stories. The narrative performance by Michael Langan is great as well. I enjoyed the audiobook very much.

Very, very good

Even when I began this with a bit of distrust (yeah, it was the 'Moriarities' on the title, sue me!) I soon was deeply engrossed in the stories.

I enjoyed this approach to what could have happened during the Great Hiatus, and found the mysteries really interesting. Having Watson working with Lestrade and Mycroft is a wonderful plus. Yes, I have a weakness for stories that have Watson working with Lestrade during the hiatus; give me that to me, and you'll have my heart :D

And I truly enjoyed Michael Langan's narration.

So, yes, a recommended read for those who never can have enough of these characters :P

A complex group of tales

I thoroughly enjoyed this collection.
Some were quite fun whilst others are complex and deep.
Beautifully narrated.
A very good read.
