The Sensible Necktie and Other Stories of Sherlock Holmes

By: Peter K. Andersson

Narrated by: Nigel Peever

From the author of The Cotswolds Werewolf comes a new collection of Sherlock Holmes pastiches in the vein of Conan Doyle, revealing for the first time the secrets behind the theft of the hobnailed boots, the mysterious madness of the Right Honourable Wilfred Crabb, the case of the haunted public house, the curious and seemingly supernatural events surrounding a remote hotel on the east coast, and the truth behind the strange disappearance of Cyrus Thicknesse, the man in the sensible necktie. "I must say, Holmes, I am a bit surprised to see you taking an interest in something based on sympathy." "You do not think me sympathetic?" "Of course I do. But you have said yourself that it is the rational challenge and not the human aspect that draws you to your cases. Humans are mere factors in a problem, I think were your words." "Did I really say that? Hm, well, I am an odd sort, am I not?"

Great Story & Narration

I love Sherlock stories and the narration by Nigel Peevers is great. This was nine short stories, but all were enjoyable. Short enough to listen to them over and over when you have a short time to listen to an audio.
Given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Nine Sherlock Holmes Short Stories

The stories range from just ok to very interesting. The performance was good - especially Watson.

The Voice of Failure

The story itself is very enjoyable. I enjoy many of the new Sherlock Holmes stories that follow the best of the original.

It is the voice used for Sherlock Holmes that kills the performance. That voice mumbles and is so horrible I had real problems understanding his words.

Sherlock Holmes does it again

I loved these adventures they were well written and I had fun trying to figure out the mystery. I was so intrigued that I actually say still listening to each adventure. I received this review copy per my request and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
