Holme reading

Very good narrative to some wonderful tales, albeit a bit too short. More tales please

Amazing as always

Amazing as it should be. Sir Doyle gave a beautiful read and a wonderful life to the book. highly recommend.

Classic tale well told!

I love the Sherlock Holmes tales, and enjoyed hearing them. The narrator handled all his different voices skillfully, which let me focus on the story instead of my annoyance with inconsistent character styles.

This is the seventh audiobook I've listened to, and the best read one. (The only other one that came close was Stephen King's reading of his own book, On Writing.)

The Truth Will Come Out

A careful selection of the best from the Sherlock Holmes stories with superb narration. Reader is immersed in the storyline from the beginning of each.

Great traveling book

We loved listening to Sherlock Holmes, the only problem is picking up where we left off. It's been a struggle to find our stopping point, so have listened to a few stories several times.
