This is the story, set in 1891, that introduces Holmes' greatest opponent, the criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty.

Conan Doyle meant to stop writing about his famous detective with this short story - equally well-known, this device failed in its purpose.

First appearing in print in 1890, the character of Sherlock Holmes has now become synonymous worldwide with the concept of a super sleuth. His creator, Conan Doyle, imbued his detective hero with intellectual power, acute observational abilities, a penchant for deductive reasoning and a highly educated use of forensic skills. Indeed, Doyle created the first fictional private detective who used what we now recognize as modern scientific investigative techniques.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases.

Publisher's Summary
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are overshadowed by the event with which they close - the meeting of the great detective and Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. When "The Final Problem" was first published, the struggle between Holmes and his arch nemesis, seemingly to the death, left many readers desolate at the loss of Holmes, but it also led to his immortality as a literary figure. The stories that precede it included two narratives from Holmes himself - on a mutiny at sea and a treasure hunt in a Sussex country house - as well as a meeting with his brilliant brother, Mycroft.
Included in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are "Silver Blaze", "The Yellow Face", "The Stock-Broker's Clerk", "The Gloria Scott", "The Musgrave Ritual", "The Reigate Puzzle", "The Crooked Man", "The Resident Patient", "The Greek Interpreter", "The Naval Treaty", and "The Final Problem".

Good narrator, Incorrect product description
The narration provided by Simon Prebble is excellent. He's a good voice actor and manages to make each character distinct no matter how big the cast of a given story.
I would give this book 4 stars, but there is one critical problem. There is a story missing. "The Final Problem," in which we are first introduced by Doyle to the character of Professor Moriarty, is nowhere to be found.
This particular production company has seen fit to include it as an extra on their recording of "The Valley of Fear." It makes sense, from a certain point of view. Given the ending of the story and the role of Moriarty in both tales, there is a certain logic to packaging it with "The Valley of Fear." However, the description of this audio book EXPLICITLY STATES THAT IT INCLUDES "The Final Problem," which it does not. Listeners will therefore be surprised when the audiobook ends with, "The Naval Treaty."
It's a good audiobook, and Prebble's performance is excellent. If you're working your way through the Holmes cannon, this isn't a bad production. But unless you buy "The Valley of Fear" as produced by the same company, you're going to feel a bit cheated.

Does include "The Final Problem."
This edition of the book that I downloaded in May of 2012 does include "The Final Problem."
It seems to follow the 1894 American book edition, in that "The Cardboard Box" is *not* included, and several paragraphs of that story are inserted into "The Resident Patient." You can see the Wikipedia entry for the most singular circumstances surrounding the publication.

Good Old Tales and a Beautiful Reader
This volume contains only a few of the very best Sherlock Holmes stories, a couple of stories that are barely detective stories, and a finale so melodramatic and improbable that brings the Story rating down. Indeed, “The Final Solution” makes the reader appreciate the brilliance of the thinking behind “The Seven Percent Solution,” which presented Moriarty as the paranoid fantasy of a cocaine addict in the advanced stages of his illness. Simon Prebble makes all these stories, the good, the out-of-genre, and the implausible, worth revisiting. He is one of those actors who makes you forget that he is acting, or even that he is not speaking in his natural voice. And a beautiful voice it is, not so much for its depth or resonance as for its lovely, trust-inspiring timbre. If you want to go to detective story heaven, listen to him read all of Ellis Peters’ Inspector Felse mysteries.

I've never read the sherlock stories. This reading was like visiting an old friend. the narrator's voice was inviting, friendly, and a pleasure to listen to. I liked the way he pronounced all the French flawlessly. I will look for more of his performances. Thank you for a wonderful read.

The Final Problem Episode is Chapter 11
Greatly enjoyed Simon Prebble’s dramatization of the Memoirs. A prior review stated that the tale of the Final Problem was missing. Listened to the intro of all chapters, and the Final Problem might have been added back in. Very good performance. Easy to separate all of Doyle’s hats tees with Prebble’s excellent rapid fire narration. Either great editing, but more likely Prebble’s excellent practiced narration.
