The Definitive Holmes

Without question, the greatest and most faithful adaptation of Holmes in any medium. Merrison and Williams capture Holmes and Watson like no other duo before or since. They are truly a joy to listen to and the dramatization are enticing from start to finish.

Great Dramatisations!

These are great audio dramatisations of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The performances are perfect and the sound effects make each episode come to life.

Amazing adaption with one problem.

These adaptions of the Sherlock Holmes stories are my second favorite of all time (the first being the Granada BBC adaption with Jeremy Brett). I'd highly recommend the entire series to any Sherlock Holmes fan. However, I can't give it the 5 stars it deserves because of the complete lack of labels and story titles. The stories are split up into hundreds of small segments, which makes it impossible to browse and find the beginning of the stories. I resorted to going through and bookmarking the stories so I could jump to the one I wanted to listen to. If this issue was ever fixed, I'd be happy to change my review to 5 stars.
